Final sanding and polishing the outside





What a relief!
I've spent more hours doing the sanding and polishing as I did anything else, well, at least it seems so. But the end result is worth it in my opinion.
First I sanded the hull with 180 grit, then with 240 grit, followed by wet sanding with 320, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1500 grit, and then I started polishing, first with wool and on the second pass with foam polishing pad. In the shop under the lights it looks really nice, but I will see the final result in the sun, as the sun will surely bring out some imperfections, but I really do not care, as the canoe will be used, and a canoe is not finished until it gets a first decent scratch on the hull!
