[QUOTE="mygoggie, post: 1012926, member: 18916"] Same same today ... sanding and more sanding. I did some touch up work on the inside of the cover. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/x8pTTFwG/IMG-20200831-123734.jpg[/IMG] Carl tackled the beast ... [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/N08srMhj/IMG-20200831-123740.jpg[/IMG] After lunch I helped him to get the second layer of filler smoothed down. Someone needs to hold the beast as any pressure from sanding simply forces the hanging bed to swing away. There we are, very smooth with a few areas to be touched up. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/MZ9GDvnc/IMG-20200831-144640.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/7hZZ4yWY/IMG-20200831-144645.jpg[/IMG] Looking closely I decided it will be a lot easier if I give both flanks a very thin overall coating of filler. Easier to sand and get an even finish. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/QMZNt7yz/IMG-20200831-155541.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/jdCSktfM/IMG-20200831-155610.jpg[/IMG] I am getting much better at applying a smooth layer of filler! [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/4NMNDqbs/IMG-20200831-155621.jpg[/IMG] And it was time for Carl to be perform his previous job function. The Cleaner .... While he was cleaning I finished sanding the inside of the cover to 80 grit. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/qRkkcT0X/IMG-20200831-162112.jpg[/IMG] And that was the day ... Time to rest and enjoy a cup of Ethiopian ground berry juice. :coffee: [/QUOTE]
