Hi Tom,

Yeah I did that, generally I've followed all of your advice :) Caught a cold here sometime in the last few days so work has slowed a bit, but should have picture of the frame in a day or so. Right now I'm varnishing the outsides of the longerons (gunnels, chines, keel etc.) so everything is smooth to the fabric. Epoxy has never been real good at self leveling :)
