: Well here is this weeks update, and photos.

: Lessons learned.

: 1. Cotton is a bit difficult to wet out without bubbles, and the squeegee
: will not work. Hands work ok but next time try laying wax paper on the wet
: cloth and using the squeegee on top of that.

: 2. Blue masking tape leaks.

: 3. Completely fill the #@$%^^& weave before applying a pigmented epoxy.
: If not instead of just leaking your @$*@ masking tape will wick underneath
: the tape!

: I am installing the inside outfitting and putting her in the pool today.
: Tomorrow I will take her out to meet the surf.

: I still need to fill the deck weave, and add fins. I will do some type of
: pin-striping to hide the bleeding.

: Sage

Can't wait to see the helmet-cam pictures. Looks good.
