Final epoxying of the hull, and something I didn't expect

Happy Ides of March.

I put the final coat of epoxy on the hull.

Before doing that i cleaned the night's dust off the hull using a damp rag to get a nice clean boat.  I was surprised when the boat has been dried off to see that the graphite-tinted epoxy had been scuffed by the rag, but unevenly.  So.... when i re-coated the hull OR THE LAST TIME YAY!!!!!!!!! i ran the epoxy over the graphite-coated part of the hull to even out the colour.  Not entirely successful, as the unevenness still showed in a few places.  Just another reminder of my skill level :(.

Tonight is the final coat on the deck and blending into the hull.  After a few days to cure fully, Sunday should be varnish time.
