hollow areas of trunk?

I couldn't find any mention of this in the forum. On page 36 the manual says to coat the hollow areas of the trunk with un-thickened epoxy. Surely it should have said keel, not trunk.

You want to coat all of the "hollow" surfaces on the keel and CB trunk (including the blocking). In the end, every surface on the boat should be covered with epoxy, including some not specifically called out in the manual, like the cleats, etc.

OK, it's a little confusing because the picture shows noseblock and keel, and the trunk is already assembled by now--it's hollow areas are already coated. Seems best to just go ahead and coat entire length of keel sides and outside of trunk before proceeding.
