    Next morning i came back and trimmed the excess and sanded down the front transition. This later gets filled with thickened epoxy as well.

    Trimming with a plane:



    Sanding down the front of of the sponson:









    This was the last step in sheeting the sponons. I cant quite believe its done to be honest. Really happy with how they are turned out, very few gaps and it has all come together very neatly. Next steps are to sand and fill the sponsons, get all the edges and gaps perfect and basically get them close to the point where i can seal and paint.

    In the meantime i am still waiting on some parts so things might slow down from here while they come in. If you are sheeting your sponsons and have and questions, reach out and I am happy to help - I can at least tell you what mistakes i made : )
