I sanded the thwarts, and carefully sanded over the sea turtle with 220 grit paper. Even with care, I think I sanded the edges of the marquetry a little too much. Then I put another coat of epoxy on them.
Since I was already mixing epoxy, I decided assemble the mast and boom pieces. The kit came with blanks already glued up and scarf joints cut. I just had to mix up some epoxy thickened with the Cell-O-Fill to a mustard or jam consistency, put it on the scarfs and clamp them together. Since the dory is not out of the workshop, I had plenty of space in which to work.
