finishing the outside hull

 An ordered workbench reflects an ordered mind.
 Here is the hull with two coats of epoxy on it.
 The ugly white stuff is the fairing compound cleaning up the scarf joints and screw holes. I put two layers of fairing compound on and sanded them smooth. If I was shooting for perfection I would still be messing around with fairing compound.

 Here is the hull with one coat of aklyd paint. This colour is Dory Buff. It was a popular colour in Newfoundland for finishing dorys.
 I think it will look alright after about three coats.
Next I will glue and screw a piece of slippery plastic on the bottom of the keel and then it will be time to flip the boat and tackle the wonders inside.
