Frame #2 — A year later

So, The Tedious Tale of Zip Frame #2 began when I started building it in December 2016. Now it's December 2017. Yikes! I guess this is what you call working at a snail's pace. Oh well... it is what it is, and it certainly isn't a race.

A year later, what's the status of Frame #2? It is structurally complete, encapsulated with 3 coats of epoxy (4 in a couple of spots), and now I'm working on primer coats on the gussets.

Frame #2, with the gussets in various stages of finish.

The starboard gussets have 4 layers of primer. (On the aft surface, anyway.)

Primer coat #3 sanded and ready for another coat on the port bottom gusset.

Epoxy coat #4, still curing on the port top gusset.
