NB! The video only just finished uploading. HD/4K might not be available yet. Check back later if that is the case :) 

I'm sorry I wasn't able to upload the video yesterday, but we weren't done laying up glass until 8 PM. It was a long day! I arrived at the boat at 6 AM and the guys showed up at 9. 

After we got into the rhythm of things it took us around 3 hours to do one side (roughly 1/3 of the deck). Considering I need another four layers on there, there is a lot of work to be done! 

The good news is the deck turned out great, and the new core is almost fully sealed up now. I have a lead on another shed/workshop, but nothing is nailed down yet. Even if I get in there, I'll only have another 3-4 weeks until it's too cold for me to work on the deck. 

Have an awesome week guys! :D

When you were talking about the “scrim” surface and wanting to sand it smooth, I thought ‘don’t do it’ you would have had the only “non skid” surface permanently a part of the fiberglass. Of course you would have to add the soft sand material to the top paint but your non skid would be monstrous. Just a thought.

I didn't sand it to get it smooth but to get rid of the binder that is used😊 That binder gets desolved by polyester but not by epoxy. I had a chat with the manufacturer of the foam. They strongly recommend removing the scrim when using epoxy. I still haven't made up my mind on what to do about none skid. It's turning out to be quite the challenging decision😉😊

I hope the chance of a new shed works out for you. The new deck is coming along really well and looks like it will be even better and stronger than when she was first launched. I'm very impressed. Also wanted to mention that there wss a "hats off 3 cheers" in our house to those awesome friends of yours for helping.
