Mix up about 4 ounces of epoxy finishing resin.
Start from the front.
Using a brush, coat all areas of wood inside the hull.
Get inside the holes.
Try not to get too much resin on the top edges of the
bulkheads and chines, as it will make it more difficult
to sand later. Be sure to get the bottom edges of the
spines.
Seal over the glassed area as well.
Also seal the ½ inch diameter dowel including both
ends.
After you are 100% sure that all exposed wood
inside the hull has been coated, let it sit overnight.
Recoat the interior with a second coat. This will use
much less resin. Do the dowel as well.
You can use any excess resin to seal one side of
the deck at any point.
Decide which side of the deck looks better, and
mark the other side as the bottom. Coat the bottom
with finishing resin.
Use a scrap of wood or a credit card to squeegee
the resin on. Scrape off as much as you can.
You should scrape or sand when cured and coat a
second time. Allow to cure.
Floatation
Now is the time to put floatation in the hull.
DO NOT OMIT THIS STEP! Without floatation YOU
WILL LOSE YOUR BOAT!
Don’t ask me how I know…
Find a pool noodle and cut it into sections that will fit
in the compartments in front of bulkhead 3.
You can get pool noodles at the dollar store or Wally
World.
Be sure the floatation will not interfere with the top
sheeting.
A boat stand is a good idea at this point.
You can make a boat stand out of PVC pipe or
wood.
