Nymph Fairing In The Works
Hi,
Well I'm on a break from fairing the Nymph. Thanks to everyone for
thier help. I mixed up some epoxy/talc and spread it on with a Bondo
Squeegee. So far everything is looking pretty good. I have the boat
up on its side right now as I just finished the port side sheer panel.
One mistake I made was to prime the bilge panels. My thinking was the
same as I learned when sanding wood for a fine finish (lightly stain
and then sand, you can see all of the high spots). With the epoxy,
just sanding will show all of the high spots, so the primmer has just
gotten in my way. Took about an hour to sand before I could fair
them. Live and learn!
One sheer panel to go and then a little more sanding and another
inspection for low spots.
This isn't as hard as I thought it would be, but I imagine that when
doing a much larger boat the process might seem never ending :-)
