Another choice instead of paint may be to just add white pigment to the top layers of epoxy resin, and be done with it...not UV resistant, but its under a sealed deck....The white tint will give some visibility when inspecting below deck..

Nice work, GW ;)

Thanks gents!

I'm having difficulty finding an outlet for Sherwin-Williams non-consumer products. Do you know if their home stores have the ability to provide pricing or make orders, or is there an online source? That stuff has good specs.

Im gonna stop by the local home store today if i can, and see if i can price and get it there, I know their auto refinish products have separate outlets, but not sure of these products. Ill report back what they say. It says self priming, so ill price out the paint and hardener.

Thanks Z. Hopefully it's less shocking than a lot of other coatings.

I spoke to the manager at the home store, and he gave me the adress of the industrial store, about 15 miles from me, anyway..

They discontinued the gallon kit, and only offer the 4gal part a/1gal pt b kit.

Runs $309 for4 gal paint

$86 for 1 gal hardener

if I open a business account, its $245/4gal and $84/hardener

Not that bad but way more than I need...might look at Por15 whitecoat kit...

For the Dory I used two part epoxy garage floor paint in the bildge. It was light grey instead of white, but it made it look real good and sealed everything up. A two gallon kit was more then enough to to bow to stern on a 23' boat. Definately more areomatic then regular epoxy. Got a bit loopy doing it even being outside with a breeze.

Zool, that's probably too pricey, though if I used the same paint inside and out, it might almost be affordable, though 4 gallons might still be too much.

Teamster - sounds like it'd be tough, and resistant to water, but I'd wonder about the long term fuel and oil resistance. While I intend to keep the bilge as clean as possible, oil spills are inevitable, and maint of the fuel filter and water separator will no doubt result in fuel spills.

John, that might be worth looking at. The stuff is surely heavy duty and oil, fuel and water resistant. I'll have to check into compatibility with fiberglass.

I need ideas for material to isolate the fuel tank from the stringers. It'd be best if it was 1/2" to 3/4" thick and slightly compressible, to take up the variations between tank and stringers/lams in my rebuild. A really dense closed cell foam might work, but it'd have to be dense enough not to compress to nothing under the weight of a full tank.

I'll be using strips of whatever it is along each stringer, between the bulkheads and tank, and along the sides of the big stringers.

Any suggestions? I remember Frisco Jay used dollar-store doormats. That might be good if I was sure they were rubber-free.

Thanks Tbone. I don't blame you for avoiding work in the heat. I mucked mine out during some brutal hot weather, and it did not result in joy. :)

Found an interesting site when searching for neoprene suppliers. These guys have both neoprene foam that doesn't absorb water, and a high-density variety as well. And it's very affordable as well.

Neoprene Closed Cell Foam and Specialty Foam : Water Resistant Fabric : Seattlefabrics.com

I placed an order for a yard of the neoprene tonight. I checked around, and this place sells in much more affordable quantities that the big sources. I was able to buy a yard for $22, and shipping was nearly as much at $19. Still way better than $100+ (some WAY more) at other places.

Now I just need to source some bilge paint while I wait for the neoprene to arrive. Looks like Gander Mountain has Interlux Bilgekote for a decent price. Wait, iBoats beat 'em, including shipping. :) Ordering that tonight too...

I do! :)

gwpjr sat in the bilge last night while I was grilling, and contemplated the journey so far, and said "I'm really pleased at where this has gone so far.", and that there were stages during the demo when he'd thought maybe we were just nuts for pursuing it. We may still be, but we're plowing ahead anyway :)

I could be doing something useful like painting my house, or gardening, or organizing my receipts for the taxman, but I've got no time for that! I've got a boat to build!

Sunday was mostly progress-free,however I templated and cut a pair of bulkheads that go between the stringers and hull sides at the rear of the tank.

Both are doubled 3/4" plywood, laminated with TiteBond III.

Spent the afternoon cruising around Irondequoit Bay and Lake Ontario, between Charlotte and Webster on gwpjr's StarCraft.

And another of our return to port, including the last 3 seconds showing an identical StarCraft to gwpjr's passing us to starboard.
