It was harder to lay the fiberglass inside the canoe. We cut it six inches from each end as there is not way to get the 'glass right into the bow and stern.
The first coat was applied in the same manner as on the outside.
It was tricky painting the epoxy into the narrow bow and stern.
For the second and third coats, we made sure the epoxy was warmed on the heater. This makes the epoxy much more liquid so that we could apply a thin coat with the roller. Before the epoxy began to set at all, the coat was dry brushed to remove any roller marks and make for a perfectly smooth finish.
This is inside the canoe after three coats. All that is left is a light sanding and many coats of varnish. This will happen once the gunnels are on.
