Re-working the Seams

Now that the Stiches are out of the way I went back and cleaned up the drips of epoxy that had run down the side of the boat. I also cleaned up the epoxy in the join with a round file. This revealed a lot of holes and ups and downs in the epoxy seam. It was caused by the stiches as I was trying to put the epoxy in the seam. I mixed up some more epoxy and laid it in the seam to try and fill all of the holes.  It now looks a lot better than it did before but I think it will still need a bit of work to make it look the way I want it to. The round file works really well to clean the seam up as it fits perfectly in to the join of the boat. The only drawback is that the epoxy is so hard that it is slow work to get the finish that I want. In the end the seams will be facing the ground or the water and you won’t see them, so they don’t need to be absolutely perfect.

Nice seams, smooth and no air bubbles

This seams still need a bit of work.
You can see the air bubbles
