The folks at clc repeat the mantra "sanding is fun" throughout their instructional manual, video and website. Tonight we found out that while it may not really be fun, it was not as bad as expected.
First, we flipped the boat over and removed the tape and stitches from the outside of the hull. Then, we smoothed over the seams, and evened up the ends with a combination of file/saw/surform/plane/hammer and chisel/sanding block & orbital sander. The orbital sander is connected to the shop vac which did an amazingly good job of not filling Rick's living room with dust. Finally, we filled in the low spots in the seams with more epoxy and wood flour. 3 hours of work.
Total construction time:19.5 hours.
