Pictures! Glassing the side Panels

Here are most of the pictures (still fixing camera) of the side panels being glassed:

First the fiberglass cloth was laid out over the sanded side panels and smoothed out to prepare for epoxy.

Next, the clear epoxy was mixed and spread over the fiberglass with a yellow squeegee to fill the weave of the cloth. This results in a nice glassy looking wood panel with no visible fiberglass


After the epoxy has had about an hour to "tack up", or partially cure to the state of which it becomes tacky, a second coat of epoxy is added to fill the remainder of the open fiberglass weave as well as add another layer of protection.
Again thank you everyone following for your patience, I will continue to work on the boat, and as soon as the camera issues are settled I will get everyone back up to date and on track with what i am doing day by day!
