Glassing the bottom

I put a layer of 2" glass tape on top of a layer of 3" tape over all of the outer seams. Then I put a layer of 1-oz glass mat on the bottom. The tape has a rough selvedge on one side that must be sanded off; the 2" stuff was the worst.
I put Polyfair (a polyester fairing compound) over the edges of the tape, to blend them into the sides.
In the above photo, I've faired the starboard side tape edges but not the port side yet.

Did I mention that I got a space at the CBSA? It just needs a boat in it now! Hopefully the temperatures will rise enough to start painting soon. Current highs are around 6ÂșC, lows around 0.
