I had just a bit of time today to devote to the refit of this Allied 24, so I got straight at the work - glassing in the cockpit scupper drains.
Using the 1" belt sander, to work quickly and in tight spaces, I sanded the underside of the cockpit well and the flange of the drain. I needed to ensure that the surface of the flange and the underside of the cockpit well was roughed-up (keyed to accept a mechanical bond of epoxy).
With the sanding out of the way, I vacuumed the surfaces and then wiped them down with solvent to remove any remaining sanding residue. Back in the shop, I cut lengths of fiberglass to wrap on the flange and the underside of the cockpit well. I finished things off with peel ply in order to cut down on the need for water-washing and sanding prior to painting the surfaces.
The last item on the list today was spot-fairing the cockpit well. There were a number of voids on the surface of the cockpit well floor and verticals...hence the pox! With TotalBoat TotalFair, I applied the fairing compound to the numerous small voids. In the next work session I will sand these spots fair and finish off with primer paint.
Total Time Today: 2 hrs
