Priming was successful, however it revealed some imperfections. This is just a prototype, however after all the work, it’s hard to ignore the minor flaws and not clear how to fix them. I had cracked the tip of one of the deck pieces and didn’t fully fir out the joint between the sides and the decks. I ended up just smacking on some firring compound. After a tiny bit more sanding, I should be ready to paint. Call me about seeing a maiden voyage in about a week.
