3362Hrs – What It’s All About
We’re locked into a period of dank dark weather right now. Not a hint of sunshine, everything is damp to the touch, daylight is in short supply, it’s the time of year I dislike the most...

3359Hrs – Transforming Bits of Plywood
I continued with epoxy coating and painting today despite it being a cold damp murky day. The primer I’m using is OK to use in these conditions but I’ll not be applying any top coat...
3348Hrs – Under The Weather Blip

3265Hrs – Missed Again
I’d aimed to finish the rudders this week, it isn’t going to happen. I didn’t allow for the time needed for the epoxy to dry on each side before I’m able to work on the other....
