Building the Squirt in St. Petersburg (Russia)
Hello everyone,
I apologize in advance for my language - I do not speak English very well. I want to imagine the construction of my boat. I want to express my gratitude to the builders from this forum - I learned a lot from you.

These are already completed stages of construction. Some required a fairly long understanding.

This is my first boat building experience. Although I can’t say that I am new to various work issues. Nevertheless, while I was building, I learned a lot in this area.
fiberglass coating ... my friend allocated a small piece of his workshop for construction, for this I sometimes helped him with the manufacture of interior orders. But the workshop was very poorly heated and work with resin turned into a show with a hairdryer. The resin froze for a very long time, it happened that it took three days.

More glue, sapele veneer, maple veneer and the most important ingredient in any business - patience

Аfter stain painting, I applied five layers of epoxy. After each layer, I ground the surface and cleaned the craters.

We're still happily married, but now she just wants "the dam boat out of the garage."

First layers of varnish ... Each layer is polished after drying. There will be five layers in total.
