: As usual, a fine solution and an outstanding end result.

Yep! I just finished applying a thin layer of epoxy to the deck...looks great so far. Got it on nicely thin albeit without a thinner. Gotta get some better brushes though, the cheap ones I am using keep shedding bristles and the lighting in the garage leaves more to be desired. I should be able to flip the thing over and start working on the graphite for the bottom while the top keeps curing. Tomorrow I should be able to start making those smaller leaves along the length of the deck and yes, I am pushing it. Fly off to work Monday and want to get as much done as possible so that when I return, I can take my time on the remaining work. I think I should be able to get the finish coat of clear done in two weeks. That will mean the project will be completed and I can rest or paddle.
