Got the cabin entry dash filler panel glued into place this weekend. Seems like it's probably the last of nice warm weather for the season. I'll have to wait till spring to grind out and bevel the joint to tab it in permanently. I don't want to risk getting a bad cure.

Yeah, I live in Ohio and our weather just changed to where I have to plan my projects requiring heat to cure.

I the boats inside, you can do a lot w/a space heater and a tent built over that portion of project.

Huge fire risk if left unattended but so far so good.

Unfortunately I don't have indoor storage for my boat. Looks like I'm stuck doing layups in my garage till May or so. It looks like last was probably the last of our weather above 60⁰. The challenges of living North! 😂😂

Got over to the boat today to retrieve all my tools, clean up and check out my work. It's really solid even without being fully glassed in. Can't wait till Spring so I can finish up the glass work!

Yep.

I’ve got a bunch of parts to paint and kicking myself for not doing it before the weather turned.

Im lucky and have a heated shop but it ain’t cheap to keep it at 70* for 24 hrs to cure paint/glass when it’s 20 outside!

I even use the tent/space heater trick inside so I don’t have to super heat the whole shop.

Your boats going to be a really nice, one off when done.
