The new labels for the electrical panel arrived, so I installed them, completing the front of the panel. 

    


As I mentioned earlier, there were a few void areas in the seams between the cabin sole planks, and a need to improve the fillets between the flat portion of the sole and where it curved up the hull at the forward and after ends.  I also wanted to create small fillets where the planks ran into the bulkhead at the forward end of the main cabin, and in the head area.

To fill these minor areas, I masked off the boards as needed, and then sanded the areas requiring the void and low-spot filling.  The amount of tape in the photo belies the minor nature of the filling, but to keep the surrounding plank surfaces clean, more, rather than less, tape was required.



Before proceeding with the filling, I cleaned and applied primer to the settee tops and hatches.  Then, starting in the head and working aft, I filled the areas of the cabin sole as needed, using more of the blackened, thickened epoxy.  As I worked aft, I removed the tape from the sole.
