glassed #2 Pirogue

[islandpiper]

I got the glass on the #2 pirogue today, after doing some heavy duty repars to a 24" fisherman in the side yard. It had been hit by a flying tree, and had a hole punched thru the deck, and out the hull......with a 1/4 split along the chine a distance of about three feet. I did a part of the split to stabilize things a bit and will get to the big hole very last.

More fun to glass a pirogue. Before dark I'll spread a second coat of epoxy on it and get ready to rock 'n roll.......Mine will be painted some sort of muddy green. The one I am making for a friend will be varnished inside and out.

Hot day, even the slow hardener was going off FAST.

Headed out on a little creek near here tomorrow early AM.....with pirogue #2, fully varnished or not. I'll tryk to get some pics of the gators and birds if I can get the camera out fast enough this time. Missed some real CLOSE UPS of a ten foot gator a week or so ago.

cheers, Piper
