Bathtub still a dry fit...

22 June 2012
The majority of our bathtub would have been glued and screwed in permanently if not for a mishap due to the latest coat of epoxy not adhering. But it's not such a big deal as it was not the last coat... We going to fill the seams where the sides meet with epoxy and conclude with a white gel coat type finish. There will also be a bench seat in the aft corner. the result will be comfortable... I sat in it today and was extremely surprised at how roomy it was! Perhaps it's not destined to become a weather gear/wetsuit depot afterall... I'm thinking bubbles...
