Still a lot of work to do but today is a major milestone. I was very nervous about this step. Final sanding completed it's time to start applying epoxy to the outside. Remember, the inside has been finished for a while. The first coat of epoxy is very thin and serves as a seal coat. I will sand this coat with 220 grit sand paper to make it even smoother. The pics show the difference between raw wood and epoxied wood. WOW! The bottom 2 pics show the port and starboard sides. Look at how the beautiful grain of the woods comes out. There is no way of seeing how fantastic it is the until this step. It's like the kayak has been telling me all along, "Wait for it... wait for it..." BOOM!
