Paddle Board plug fairing

Today we spent some time fairing the plug for the paddle board.  It was first formed with 1/8 inch ply. bi-axiel glass cloth and resin.  We then formed the rails with fairing compound and lots of it.
Once it got close, we gel-coated it.  Getting the plug back to a uniform color with gelcoat helps in the fairing department.  It is easier to see problems.  So today we re-faired and tomorrow it will get another gelcoat layer.  At that point we should be getting real close to polishing time.
