Great observation on the tightness of the wires. i would strongly recommend concentrating on the fairness of the edges of the hull joins during assembly. Small gaps are quite acceptable. It looks to me like there was a small deviation on side of the panel being cut. If there is a wiggle then tightening the stitches too much will create a concave. But at the same time there should not be much of a wiggle in the edge of the panel. Glassing looks great.
Oh ... yes ... the first coat of paint over epoxy sometimes does take a few days. it is very variable. The following coats should dry in the expected time.
Hi Guillermo, I used Interlux Pre-Coat primer and Interlux Brightside 1 part polyurethane. I found they both are much more easily sanded if you can wait 2 or 3 days for extra drying time. I used foam brushes from Chesapeake Light Craft with excellent results. Stay away from generic foam brushes from Home Depot. They are too soft and get really mushy. Not good for a smooth application. Be patient and you'll get an excellent finish. The Brightside poly is quite thin so it flows very well but will require 3 - 4 coats for good coverage. Good luck.

Great video! Could you tell us what paint you used to paint the Hull? Thanks!
