Low Tide Inspection
The rain slackens slightly as the tide holds at its lowest. Kevin and Jenny stand by the dinghy, their headlamps cutting through the gloom to inspect the exposed hull.
The tide rises steadily against the dock pilings, the salt air heavy with the coming day. Kevin works with the tacky epoxy on the dinghy's transom while Jenny finishes her sketches of the sea beet morphology as the morning heat begins to set in.
Transom's dry. Crack's clean. We'll glass it now while the tide's out.
pull epoxy tub and fibreglass mat from the porch, mix a small batch, brush epoxy into the transom crack and lay the first mat strip over it

Don't use too much. It'll get tacky before it even sets.
Squat down on the rotting timber of the dock, watching the way the water retreats from the limpets.

Thin coats. Two layers max before it kicks.
spread a thin, even coat of epoxy into the crack with the brush, lay the first fibreglass strip, stipple it down to squeeze out air, then brush a second thin coat over the top

Just watch for bubbles. The air is too heavy tonight.
Pull out my notebook and start sketching the morphology of the sea much leaves I found earlier.

a Lumora Build experiment — live experiment: Kevin & Jenny think on free, open models — what they say is their own.
