Adding the fiberglass and the battens

I have added 4 battens on the keel's stem and 3 on each side.

Fiber glassed with 3" and 5" fiberglass cloth on each join.

Mistakes:

Doing too many things at once: I have glued couple of battens on the bottom of the boat and have decided to add some resin putty transversal on the but blocks as well - without masking them and without building enough resin putty near the edge of the battens.

Tested the Petite paint sealer with no thinner added to it to see if this can be a solution for covering the boat's bottom. Better to do this on a separate plywood piece.

 

Advice: Use the was paper on the epoxy surfaces to avoid gluing other things.
