DE25 Part 3

As long as you catch the epoxy while it is cured to the "green" stage, you can trim the excess cloth pretty cleanly with a sharp blade. I found my slick, a traditional shipwright's tool that looks like a giant chisel, to be useful here even on this very much non-traditional boat.



Speak softly and carry a big chisel! :-)



I added an outer stem to the design at the owner's request to jazz up the profile a bit. The purple color you see here is from a first skim of microballoon fairing compound as we get ready to longboard her fair.



While waiting for epoxy and fairing to set up hard enough to sand cleanly, I built a jig to lay up the cambered foam-core roof panel.
