Before
After
Over time, due to the ravages of sunlight, wind and rain, the
seams between plywood panels at the aft end of ‘Minnow’s’ cabin trunk slightly opened.
Likewise the port window panel moved a smidgen from the side deck, but particularly
bad were the seams between the aft washboard panel and the window panels.
This afternoon the temperature was warm enough for me to carry
out repairs by filling the gaps with epoxy putty. At dusk the air temperature
fell, and to help cure the epoxy I set up my mini hot air blower.
Assuming the epoxy putty will harden by tomorrow morning, I
shall be able to shape and smooth irregularities found in it.
