22) Scraping the Inside

In order to get the glue drops and excess epoxy off of the inside, I used a paint scraper that has been shaped in a curve on a bench grider. The paint scraper worked well, but is a pretty harsh tool. It takes off excess glue and wood, but not neatly. This process involved a lot of work, hunched over the boat. The thought of taking the canoe out camping along the Suwannee River keep me going at times like these.


Here is a pic of the bottom of the boat, look at that nice fair curve.
