Bulkheads part 1

Four sheets of Okume are hopefully enough to make the 12 bulkheads for the boat. First I need to coat both sides of each sheet with epoxy, then sand and apply another coat.

Here are the sheets with the first epoxy coat applied.


I ran out of the fast hardener so bought some slow hardener which seems to give a better result, or it could just be the warmer conditions now.


I also had to buy a new sander. I do a fair bit of DIY at home and sanders don't seem to last very long for me. So I have spent a little more on what is hopefully a higher quality model this time.
