Day 8 Rub rail and Inwale

Day 8

9 pm
Hours spent: 10:15am - 4:30pm
My morning started off removing nearly 40 clamps that were holding the 2inch spacer blocks to the boat well the epoxy was curing overnight. These blocks are 1/4 of an inch thick, and the inwale is clamped on top of them.
Once those were cured up, I test fit both of the pieces and was able to bend the wood to the boat with lots of clamps. Eventually, I had the piece in a position I liked and removed all the clamps, sealed the wood with epoxy, and clamped them together with epoxy between the pieces.
After getting both pieces clamped up, I was able to scrape off all of the excess epoxies, hopefully saving me some sanding work for later. After everything was clamped up and waiting to cure, I started some of the sanding work that I am hoping to have done in a day or 2. (It's just as unpleasant as it looks)
Looking great, go Ollie go!
