Strip: Iggy Seams - Back in Black *Pic*

I finished one of the seams today on my Iggy. Built with 1" seam tape and black epoxy. I ran a 1" piece of masking tape down the seam, then surrounded it one each side with another 1" piece of masking tape. Peeled the center tape off, wet out the wood with a layer of black epoxy, put the tape into place, and painted on more epoxy.

The last seam tape will go on in the morning, and then I have to finish the skeg control and layup the bulkheads, but the bulkheads will have to wait until I'm back from Norway the first week of August...

This boat is slow going.
