Hi everyone,

the deck is glassed and filled. Time for some fotos and an update.

first of all let me thank all those who insisted I should try beveld strips instead of b+c for my deck. WOW ! I had no idea I was so lousy at edge routing

The graphic design is quite simple. All I wanted was to play with the shape of the deck, and draw attention to the various components and functions that make up a kayak.

Let me take the opportunity to ask a question about patching my fillcoats. I used S3 medium and a brush. 99% of the area is good and ready for sanding and varnish, but here are some coin sized areas I missed, and also a cluster of tiny pinholes near the stern. No idea what caused the latter.

How do I clean this up ? I don´t want to recoat the entire deck, so the plan is to sand (coarse), patch with epoxy ONLY the affected area, sand again, and do a final skim coat. I believe Rob Macks once posted this suggestion, but cannot find the post.

Could I possibly leave the last skim coat off ? I would very much like to, but don´t want the boat to look patchy in the end...
