Amalgamation of odds and ends

This is a brief synopsis of all the random tasks that are spliced between the "real project," i.e. back decks. We rarely have included in the blog the countless do overs and righted mistakes. But trust in the nature of murphys law that we did not get it right the first time and with luck maybe close the second. For instance the rudder post rebuild was rebuilt again today to correct some alignment issues. Anyways heres a few less granduer happenings.

The first is of a piece of poor mans teak laminated to doorskin with epoxy being pressed into position as a backsplash in the galley with contact cement and sticks.
This is a glimpse of the foc'sle after a weeks worth of application of the 5 gallons of thermal insulation paint. In hopes that it would insulate like a beer koosie so the condensation between out door and indoor temperatures don't create a wet rain forest like situation soaking into your bunk.
The next series is of the scuttle which was screwed into the roof and gooped for a seal. The goop was long gone, and so was the balsa wood core of the roof that the screws held onto since it was broken down be the water making it past the failed goop defenses. The water followed right on down the back wall of the cabin which also rotted and was replaced (see earlier post.) So in an attempt to avoid further damage I removed the screws, ground off the gelcoat, and ramped up the the edge with duraglass to make a glassable transition. Then it was glassed and more duraglass was added for fairing.


And more glassing on the main deck.
