Making My Second Coaming

[Kudzu]

That is why I don't like working with it. I get it everywhere regardless how careful I am.

What a mess I've made using epoxy! I think I even have epoxy on the ceiling!! Epoxy everywhere!! Me and epoxy should not be in the same room! I thought I was going to destroy the coaming trying to get the clamped un-stuck to the coaming! But I think I well recover.

Epoxy has it's place and it aint on the ceiling "it is great stuff" Have gone through gallons of it...But tight bond 3 is good it sets up quicker also...

[Kudzu]

It's great stuff for sure! Sometime nothing is better. Some swear by it, I usually sweat at it.

Between the price and mess I use Titebond unless I really need epoxy. It's all a matter of what you prefer!

Your ceiling needs epoxy?

Your ceiling needs epoxy?

Well, maybe I exaggerated just a little.

You will get neater when you smear epoxy on your glasses. Don't ask me how I know. The good news is that epoxy won't stick to the lens. Comes off with just a gentle scratching with a fingernail. Working clean is the first epoxy skill.

The coaming is getting there. This is with a coat of epoxy on it to fill is a couple minor gaps I ended up with. I rounded over the rim on this one as apposed to flat like I did on the first one. I glued each lap on the lip about 1/16" lower that the preceding one and then used my spokeshave and sand paper to smooth it down to a nice round. I like it better than my first one.
