Learnings: Photo Summary

The first posts in this series (January of 2024) have two videos of the completed kayak.

And the first post in this series provides the details of tools to get, ways to avoid my mistakes (acetone to wipe off over-applications, blotches and the danger of oversanding with orbital disc sander). 

The pigmented epoxy on the edge of the deck and the cockpit coaming took extra work. With my experimenting, it probably added two weeks to the build. But you could avoid some that by using my learnings (multiple layers of electricians tape to use as forms to contain shallow pours of pigmented epoxy).

So here are the photos that summarize the success of that and the errors of oversanding. 

The first photo asks my question of whether there is a twist to the bow of the kayak from not getting puzzle joints aligned at the centre of the kayak.
