Filleting and more masking

No picts this time.  Just building on what I was doing in the last post.  I finished the fillets at the chine and started to mask the areas around the floorboards.  This was a little tricky.  There are a lot of places to mask.  In front and behind each floor support and each side where it meets the CB trunk and then the keel itself.

Most of it needs to be done from inside the boat unless your an orangutan.  Walking around in the inside of the yet to be fiber glassed hull is a little disconcerting.  So I got a couple of old boards and laid them across the tops of the tack welded floor supports.  That creates a nice stable platform and its a lot easier to do accurate work.

I can finally see the end of the hull filleting.  I've been having a good slow long go at it and learning more along the way.
