 whoa all right it's not as good as it looks and let's go up closer the glossiness is nice but we need a closer you see it's actually kind of lumpy and stuff so I've begun sanding oh sanding have a bunch of old sandpaper that's partly used so the resin's kind of sticky on the surface and it gums up the sandpaper yeah like this this is sandpaper I used on a previous boat I got really gummed up that one's probably useless anyway I'm gonna use this garbage-y sandpaper to get the sticky surface off and then carry on sanding after that oh that's sanded pretty well good enough anyway I only went down to 80 grit sandpaper and now I'm going to take one of these which is a piece of scrap cloth wrapped up in a piece of soft cloth dip it in resin and smear it on and basically wipe it off so just put a really thin film over the whole thing it's a little bit tricky it's easy to screw up but if I do it right it leaves a real nice finish I did that on my kayaks and they came out really nice on the bottom so hopefully soon this pontoon will look like this one from here and then up close it won't have all the bumps that one does now this started as a very neatly wrapped up piece of stuff anyway got it all on there it looks pretty good maybe go over it with a little bit of really fine sandpaper at the end although I don't even want to take out all the streaks because the streaks are going the right way so to help the water flow and not you know make eddy currents right oh now it's looking good who if only that one was not bumpy I'll do it soon should be able to see in the camera this one has a little bit of streakiness on it still here's the one I haven't done yet much more streaking is lumps yeah a little bit of fine sandpaper on there and it'll be good
