I really thought I was past the hard stuff. Pretty funny, huh? Each new stage brings so much to learn. Maybe by the time I'm finished epoxying I'll feel like I have a clue as to what I'm doing. Sure hope so. Right now I'm just grateful each time I do a layer and don't totally screw up the boat. I fear I will have an awful lot of sanding to do.

Not whining, just noting how hard it is to get good at this. No matter how much you read and talk to people, you still have to just do it and experiment and find out what works and what doesn't.

Still having fun,the boat still looks beautiful, and it's still progressing towards the water. What more can I ask?
