Filling and Fairing

Did more paint prep today, mostly on the deck.
The deck needed lots of small repairs: gouges and scrapes, old hardware holes to be filled etc. All the old holes were filled in, and anything thats being reused has been drilled/routed/epoxy-filled/redrilled. Above is a lousy photo of the deck before the repairs are sanded. The brown is epoxy and lightweight fairing filler.
I also did a relatively fun job in fairing the partner box into the deck. I ran a fillet of the same epoxy mix around the base of the partner box, and shaped it so it will appear that the box is a molded part of the deck. Might need one more application tomorrow to get it perfect.

Had an hour left at the end of the day so I sanded more of the hull. It's about 60% complete.
