I wanted to finish something so I thought it would be easy to get the centerboard finished. The first task was to grind out the lead overfill. Turned out this was tougher than it sounds. Even with a belt sander it took quite a while. Hint: Keep the belt sander on low or the belt will over heat and break (voice of experience).
For some reason the leading edge developed quite a few bubbles in the epoxy reinforcement. Pictured below is the biggest one.
But there are several smaller ones. These will be easy to fill... just annoying. Despite this I was able to get a just about perfect (IMHO) leading edge shape.
The trailing edge didn't seem to have that problem. Might have been the viscosity of each pour. I dunno.
I didn't finish the opposite side of the trailing edge. Got tired and gave up for the evening.
