Here's Cinzia at it. In this photo, on the right panel it's easy to distinguish the recoated part, while the left one is almost done.
We passed the 100 hours of work today!
Total work time to date: 103 hours

Epoxy coating completed
Today we completed the epoxy coating of the inner faces of the last two panels. This time it took a bit longer: I gave the first coat yesterday morning but could not give the second coat in due time, so this morning we had to clean the dreaded amine blush from the cured surface, which WAS there indeed. We used Scotchbrite pads and water: at the end, the bucket, which at the beginning was full of clean water, contained a whitish liquid... We then dried everything with paper towels. In the afternoon everything was dry so we gave the panels the second coat. The whole thing took 5 hours, so the suggestion is: do everything you can to avoid the amine blush if you have to do multiple coats, fiberglassing and so on.
