Seal coat.
I applied a seal coat on the board. It make the wood look much darker! The grain pop up, I hope I will be able to laminate quite soon...

Quick Kick... heu... OK!
The nose and tail have been shaped and the fin inserts have been epoxied! I use the epoxy called Quick Kick, well it means that when it is really hot outside, like this week end, you shouldn't use it. Guess what?... I used it!!! The epoxy set so fast and became so hot that I was able to see smoke coming out of the board.... Luckily nothing was ruined, the glassing promise to be fun!
