I think that's wise...a target date as priority instead of what you want to get done is a self-imposed SQUEEZE...you're on course to have a really nice CC once yer done...and that'll happen in it's own good time...I've really enjoyed watching the progress you've made!!...

 all glassed up and roughly blocked in.  as you can see the floor penatration have been hotcoated then one strip of CSM around the perimeter and 3 coats of gelcoat.  all holes that go thru the core ply are hotcoated and 3 coats of gelcoat are to follow. the key is to seal up all wood properly. all holes holes in the transom are treated the same. the holes on the transom are over drilled by a 1/2 inch then refilled with a fiber reinforced thickend resin then 2 layers of CSM are glassed on like patches on both sides. I then redrill my holes and its protected by a 1/4 inch ring of glass. then i put 2 coats of gelcoat on the holes. Its completely overboard but I just want to protect my core ply

Epic thread, looking over 50 pages worth, I can only fault you for your taste in beer. CL or Nothin for this fat boy. Looking good.. As for fairing with Gelcoat, if you are that close on the glasswork go for it. BUT gel is no where near as easy to sand as fairing putty. Only way to do it and make it shine takes a lotta work. At some point in ?3 coats you have to add the wax to get the gel to cure, graduate your sanding from 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 because you wind up buffing the gel to a shine in the end. Otherwise it will be dull and I don't think going back and adding additional coats of gel after using the wax is advisable. Some other guys add Duratec to the gel I think. Makes it more durable and makes the shine last. if you aren't going to use it as a fairing putty. I got to go back and read Shine's many threads on CSC. He seems to have a grip on it.
