Window sill takes shape

It was another scorcher today. I have not seen the numbers, but was hot in my bay, so hot I had to ask myself why I keep doing this when there must be more pleasurable ways to spend a Sunday.

Today was all about sculpting. I did most of the work with the shorter of my two sanding blocks, loaded with 40 grit paper. I did use my grinder on the upper and lower faces, but I did not want to risk it on the middle face, the one that will be visible. The course paper cut the POR-15 Epoxy Filler with ease, the perfect balance between speed and caution.

This series of photos tries to show how it looked after an hour. The small, on-camera flash tends to obliterate textural details, so I tried shooting from various angles. Maybe next week I'll remember to take a tripod so I can shoot without flash.





These last two photos show the second application of filler. Hopefully that should do it.
