C22 Bottom Sanding

After the gelcoat repair, decided to finish the sanding.  Spent about 3 1/2 hours and completed it.  Ran out of light to sand under the last pad.  Too dark for pictures, so I snapped some this morning:

Smooth as a baby's bottom sanded with 80 grit sandpaper!




Pad taken off for sanding

Sanding certain spots had broken through the epoxy barrier to the white gelcoat.  There are also some scratches from the bottom scraping that need some fairing compound.

Next steps are are to fair the keel with epoxy glass, fair the rest of the hull, and a final sanding.  Hopefully get this done on Saturday.  The weather reports say it will be too cold for applying the Interprotect 2000 epoxy barrier. 

15 days to launch!
