I went out to visit the boat and do a little work on the scuppers and deck so that Stan can get that last little bit prepped, primed and then move onto making the inner liner of the boat white!
The scuppers didn't line up very well with the pockets in the deck and it looked like big surgery to make that happen. So I just decided to fill in most of the pocket and make it look more uniform. If I had to do it again, I would have completely filled in the pocket and moved the scupper up that 2" to level with the deck. Hind sight is usually 20/20. Oh well, this will still be great.
I made some small blocks of klegecell and fit them to place in the pockets. Once dry fit, I made up a batch of vinylester resin heavily thickened with cabosil and bedded the blocks in place. After that had begun to kick off, I glassed over them. There will be a little bit of sanding and shaping before primer, but it should finish out very well. I think we will see some white Imron in the liner of this boat by next week if the weather holds out for us.
