Glastron V196 restoration

[Woodonglass]

Depending the paint you use for the final coat, this should tell you what primer to use.

 

[Dennischaves]

Thats how I painted the hull
I followed your formula WOG with great results
use the rustoleum primer on the deck?
then go over it with my non skid paint?

 

[Woodonglass]

Yup, that should yield excellent results!!!

 

[Dennischaves]

I didnt want to screw anything directly to my new deck so I made a platform to screw the battery box onto
I'm going to tab it in and that will be a sacrificial base for the battery box
hopefully I can prime the deck this weekend

 

[Woodonglass]

Wipe it all down with acetone before applying any primer

 

[Dennischaves]

I vacumed everything really well and wiped it down with acetone twice
after all this work the last thing I want is a paint delamination problem
* should I add hardner to the primer and should I sand between coats of primer?

 

[Woodonglass]

No hardener. Light sanding with 180 grit between coats and wipe down with a 50/50 mix of Mineral Spirits and Acetone.

 

[Dennischaves]

Finally ....its in primer

 

[Dennischaves]

It' nice to start putting some things back
I bent new aluminum to trim out the transom
it only took 3hrs (shaking my head) but looks good

 

[Baylinerchuck]

The feeling is amazing when you start putting things together, instead of tearing apart. Nice work!

 

[Dennischaves]

Thanks baylinerchuck
What should I use to glue vinyl to wood for the new trim panels I made?

 

[archbuilder]

3M super 90 works well.

Very nice project and a fun read, thanks for sharing! You have some very impressive paint skills, the hull and motor look amazing.

 

[Dennischaves]

Thanks again fortunately I do autobody for a living and it lends itself alot to this project
tonight I got the first coat of non slip deck paint on I got a free gallon from total boat and it seems like nice stuff hopefully tommorow I can apply the second coat and remove the tarp and start the new seat bases

 

[kcassells]

May have said this already but did you use a primer?

 

[Dennischaves]

Yes I primed it
I wet sanded the hull and buffed it
looks really good now
and I finally got it back on the trailer

 

[Dennischaves]

I' going to seal all the trim pieces today with the old timers wood sealer
how do I apply it
do i apply 1 coat and wait until tommorow to apply another or do I just keep applying it until the wood won' absorb any more
also can I paint over this sealer

 

[Dennischaves]

It' so nice to finally get the motor hung

 

[Dennischaves]

I got all the trim pieces, dash and the seat bases cut out this afternoon
it ended up being more work than I expected
now I just have to seal them with the old timers wood sealer

 

[Baylinerchuck]

Yes, paint old timers on until the wood won’t absorb any more. Really soak the ends. I painted over all of my wood after applying old timers. I used the rustoleum top side paint, however, I’m sure you could get away with a cheaper paint.
