get out of the kitchen! That's exactly what happened today. I started out around my normal 9'ish and it was a comfy 70 F in the shed. Laid out the 10" tape on the seams.

| Tape laid out on seams to be epoxied. |

And all the way up to the bow including the stem.
 |
| Stem taped & ready for epoxy. |
I knew this would be pretty ambitious for me, stamina's just not like it was but I gave it my best shot.
 |
| Aft end taped & epoxied. |
And I was going full throttle and when I looked at the clock it was well after lunch (12:58). Noticed it was really warming up in the shed. Checked the thermometer and it was hovering around the 80 F mark.
 |
| Ooops! No sense over spilled epoxy! |
By about 14:00 it was well above 90 F in the boat. I had fans going and it was still stifling hot. I could feel the epoxy kicking off in the Dixie Cup and the hot dog roller getting hard. I was feeling the heat a lil' bit too. Went to shift position and knocked over about 6 oz of epoxy. Doh! So called it quits for the day.
 |
| So close but yet so far. |
I'll have to split the tape and overlap it on the sections already epoxied. Not an ideal situation when you're trying to keep the tape continuous but I really had no choice at this point. It shouldn't affect the structure at all, just another PITA.
Standby.....
