Sanding Epoxy Resin on Hull and Decks - Boring!

Written By "Canoe Mike" Thomsen

BORING! I haven't posted in awhile because I haven't done much more than sand, sand, sand on Dave boat #3. In my previous post I was sanding and putting a coat of polyurethane on the wooden gunwales and coamings. Since then I've been sanding the epoxy resin on the hull and decks. And sanding and sanding and sanding. I'm ready now to get a coat or two of the polyurethane on the rest of the boat in preparation for spraying the final coat on everything.

Michael Thomsen of Tecumseh, Michigan built his first canoe because he wanted a small, easily handled boat to fish from. It turned out so nice he knew he had to build more. “Canoe Mike” has now retired from his day job as an electrician and devotes all his time to building boats and paddles. He makes wooden canoes using the wood strip and fiberglass method. He buys the caned seats and brass hardware for the boats, but hand makes all the other components of the boat. He also makes wooden canoe and kayak paddles.
