Quarter Panels and Epoxy work

Following the galley flat, we finalized this section with the installation of the quarter panels, sections adjacent to the rear panel.


Letting the epoxy fillets cure overnight
We rolled the epoxy on using a small paint roller and smoothed out the air bubbles (called "tipping") with a hand brush.




While the epoxy is clear - and dries clear - it results in a almost a "wet finish" look and really brings out the color and grain of the Okoume wood.  These pictures below are the first mass application of epoxy we have done, and it looks fantastic and is very smooth!  Again, the camper is still upside down.  From this vantage point, this section is part of the main sleeping compartment, with the strips of stiffener forming the "roof" of the leg room.



Completed galley flat after some sanding and three layers of epoxy!
Not too shabby!
