35. Deck Gets Epoxy

It's been a while since we have seen the kayak right side up. We let the hull cure fully before flipping over to work on the deck. Cleaned up edges of deck to hull seam and sanded here and there. Did some trimming of the back of the cockpit opening so that the curves would match the cockpit sill perfectly.  A bit unnerving to take a razor sharp Japanese saw to perfectly good boat!  Then the magic happened. Applied epoxy to the entire deck and tipped it out with a foam brush to remove bubbles. This was an amazing step to see become reality. Had no idea the Sapele Mahogany would be this beautiful.
