no hair on MY yak, thanks

In preparation for tonight's work (hopefully the last fill coat for the hull, then some sanding, filleting over the forward bulkhead and schmutzing for the cockpit) I just went out and prepped the hull by scratching all the dang bristles out of last night's epoxy. There were probably a dozen of 'em, and I'll bet there are more that I didn't find. I don't know what possessed me to give those lousy disposable chip brushes another shot, but I hope I have it out of my system now. Yeah, I've heard and tried all the tricks to minimize brush shedding, but in the end, I see no benefit to offset the annoyance. It's all rollers and foam brushes from here on out for me, thankyouverymuch. It's a crude system I s'pose, and it uses more schmoo than I think I really need, but at least I get it on evenly, and without runs or STINKIN' BRISTLES!

Man, it's good get that off my chest. Thanks for being there for me.
