Scarf joints cut and epoxied, keel rounded and taped

 Over the last couple weeks the weather has been one of two ways, very hot and humid or very cold and rainy. Not exactly the most motivating but, I'v managed to work on a few different areas.  I finished cutting my scarf joints on the three bottom hull pieces and applied a couple coats of epoxy and epoxy wood filler to fill the end grain, holes etc.  I wanted to precoat the end grain to ensure the final joining goes together wet and I don't get any dry spots.  The keel has been rounded over with a 1/2" roundover bit and I've applied the 3" 9oz. cloth tape to all 5 rounded edges.  Today  I will be sanding the keel to feather out the glass tape edges.  I hope to get the 6oz glass cloth applied Monday or Tuesday evening.  The photos here show my most recent progress.  Cutting the scarf joints was a messy job!
