kinaiahi61, thank God it wasn't worse. That was always a fear of mine with all the Acetone and resin in use at the bottom of the hull with the electrical wires and in my case hot Halogen lights (That was the only lights I had). Again I am glad you weren't hurt and you didn't loose the boat. Now sometimes I will get frustrated and over whelmed by this project that I joke about putting a match to it but of course that is only joking around:attention:.

Thanks guys for all of the comments and kind words. Got the bow section of the deck in today, glassed some of the fish box, glassed the rest of the undersides of the deck pieces. All in all a good productive day. Sorry no pics. I'll take some tomorrow. It has been super hot here, 112 degrees in the boat today. I told the family, we need slurpees and a trip to the beach. It felt really good to swim around after a long day glassing. Luckily for us 7-11 is right up the road, and the beach is right down the road. Hope y'all are doing good and moving along on your projects. Aloha

Got more done today but no time for pics as usual. Here are some from yesterday. Got one side of the deck down, and the outside section of the fishbox glassed.

I don't know anything about glassing work but I like to follow your thread and I'm glad you're okay and the boat is to and I can keep checking in watching. Pretty awesome job your doing!

Thank you, it's a long project but hopefully it'll come to an end soon. Mahalo

Got some work done. Tabbed the fish box to the supports and got some deck done. Been super busy, so not a lot done, but every little bit counts. Temps are still well over 100 degrees in the tent, with the box fans going and the sides up. So been mixing 20 oz, instead of 32 oz to make sure that it doesn't cure before I can use it. Next is finish water proofing the ply, then I can add the foam for the fish box. The starboard deck is in, the port is ready and will go in next. Aloha
