My brother David, his Wife Cece and I spent a few hours helping out today. We are returning tomorrow afternoon then taking off for an evening cocktail at the Tiki Ti.

Framing the float. There is a bar on it. They framed the base with steel rods, formed some thin foam/and or fabric, covered that with a fine firm mesh then sprayed some foam insulation to make the rocks. They had specialists doing that work.

David, his wife and I were assigned a tedious task of covering Tiki Masks with organic coverings. (Coffee grinds, chile powder, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon sticks). First apply white glue with a paint brush to a small area.

Then apply the material to the masks. Then we used a dry brush to wipe away the excess.
