Some winter mods


 


 
This was my first experience of using West Epoxy. There are some good instructions, which can be downloaded. http://www.westsystem.com/ss/use-guides/. How strong and durable it is, only time will tell once the new season begins. The flare storage tube is made from plastic drain pipe, something we have always done while sea kayaking.
 
The crew had repeatedly complained about the "knife edge" on the cabin's entrance, so a piece of hard wood was added to try and make this more comfortable. The hair dryer worked well to keep the area warm while the resin cured. The picture has a "blue tint" because the winter "tarp" was kept on during the process and helped keep the warmth in.
