    New Discovery!!!!!!

    I may be the last one to know this but just in case I thought I'd share (PW would like that word) it all with you.<br /><br />I have long been dismayed at the size of the expanded pictures in the "Shareaproject" albums. Of course when you view the thumbnails, in the tutorial, you can click on...

    Mold Release?

    I need to make a little water deflector to keep water from running down my deck and into my gas tank well thru the access cutout. I've fashioned a plug out of 2 x material to use as the form to get the contour I want. I will build it out of laid up fiberglass. <br /><br />What common material...

    Inching forward with the Gulfstream.

    Another days work. 8am to 5pm, mask, vacuum, wipe, spray, unmask, cocktail ;) . Is it any wonder these projects take so long. None of this time, of course, included any prep time of the glass surface. <br /><br />The Interlux Brightsides was a joy to shoot. It tacked quickly and...

    The long march continues!

    It seems that the further along I get, in this Gulfstream Resto project, the more the door opens onto a longer list of things to do. Today I picked up the motor from the machine shop. Now I have to clean and paint it. Once I drop it in the boat I have piles of pieces that I have to remember...

    More pre-painting opinions-Please!

    Oh how I love the smell of progress. My floor is done, I've cleaned out all of the flotsam and jetsam, scrubbed the whole inside of the boat, including all the new glass work and am now ready to paint the aft compartment and bilge.<br /><br />My question is, should I still give the newly...

    I need glue selection help!

    I'm getting ready to install my Nautolex flooring and I do not have the glue yet. The vendor that I bought the material from was not a lot of help, plus they said they could not even ship the stuff they had.<br /><br />They said that some kind of contact cement was the only thing that they knew...

    Gulfstream Progress-New Pics

    My gas tank is in, the floor is completed and as soon as the aft end and bilge are painted it'll be time for the motor.<br /><br />I'm glad to be done with this portion of the project. My attempt at perfection has cost me a lot of time as well as cash. At least I will live with the feeling that...

    Priming for Interlux Brightsides?

    I'm getting ready to spray the back end (aft section behind rear seats) and bilge of my boat. I will be using the above paint in white. All of the glass will have been sanded with 60 or 80 grit paper and washed with acetone.<br /><br />The paint dealer, a paint specialty shop, says that I...

    Everybody else is doin it.....

    ... so I thought I'd better get mine in. 17.66 Y/O son just graduated from Community College, with his AA degree, the year that he would have graduated from high school, if he'd gone to one.<br />He made the Deans List and was inducted into Phi Theta Cappa.<br /><br />To add icing to the cake...

    Comparison shopping! Mini Rant.

    Thought yu'd all get a kick out of this. I ran short of 2 part foam before I'd gotten my gas tank foamed in. I wanted to get that done this weekend so I called **composites to see how much it would cost to send out quart each of A and B, UPS second day air.<br /><br />The foam cost 17.50 for...

    DA Sander?

    I have a variety of sanders but I want one that is aggressive and controllable. I need to knock down lumpy epoxy resin before I lay the glass on my floor. Do you think the pneumatic DA sander would be the ticket? I can take a lot of material off with my belt sander but they are hard to control...

    Better late than never. (revised 6-11-05)

    Many others have set such a good example of displaying their projects, I thought I should get my **tt in gear and get mine catalogued for public record.<br /><br />I just opened the account and inserted a few pictures for starters. It'll take me some time to bring the record up to date. I have...

    Pet Peeves. Junk toasters and toaster ovens!

    Does anyone know of a toaster that lasts more than a few months? Years back, I finally found a toaster oven that was durible but I haven't found a toaster yet.<br /><br />The last toaster I bought was by Quisanart. They make a good food processor and I'd hoped that would carry over to their...

    The long march resumes!

    After a 6 mo hiatus on my Gulfstream restoration project, it is now again in motion. As you all may recall I had the stolen motor problem in early December and that took the wind out of my sails.<br /><br />I am close to having the replacement motor ready for action and now have to concentrate...

    Minor XP help?****Whoppee!!****

    After I loaded the software for my new HP OfficeJet 6210, I now get a "logon" page when I first boot up. I never had that before and I'd sure like to turn it off. I like to boot my computer, go get a cup a Joe, then come back and get to it.<br /><br />With this new screen now asking me to...

    Where to find these brackets.

    When changing to an Edelbrock intake manifold, it doesn't have the throttle cable bracket mounting bosses like the OEM had. These brackets mount under the carb so you can anchor your throttle cable to the little arm off the spacer. I saw these on Ebay but they are sold, so I'm looking for a...

    I hate MarineTek!

    You ever try to fill any hole or scrape with this stuff? First of all it is very hard to mix in the right proportions, in small amounts, because of the different consistancy of the resin and the hardner. It's a 5 to 1 ratio with a 10% variation allowance.<br /><br />Once you take a wild guess...

    Testing Plywood glue.

    How long should it take plywood, without exterior glue, to delaminate in a bucket of water?<br /><br />Last year I bought some beautiful 1/2" 7 ply mahogany faced imported plywood. It was very well priced. I have long cut the plywood to shape and soaked it in CPES and rolled epoxy resin on all...
