Finally got back at the canoe...the inside

Well, life activities, minor aches and pains, and multiple other excuses have meant that canoe building has been put on hold for a while.  When trying to clean up the inside stem areas I had become disillusioned with how I originally rounded the strips around the stem forms.  As such, I decided to compensate for this by added some resin paste to this area when filling in the area in the tip of the stems to sure it up and add a little extra strength.  The heat created from the curing of the resin resulted in some unsightly bubbling.  Having walked away from the project for a while, a long while, I finally got the Dremel tool going and sanded it as best I could and hoped that the fiberglass and oversized stem decks would mask the unsightly blemish.
