Man that was a close call for you. I am glad your ok and the boat is too.
The picknic table looks great. Hope the meals that you eat on them or as good. (lol)

Your fillets look perfect. Did you try to use the bag you bought or just the spoon.

Be careful and keep on trucking.

If you were local to me, I'd totally be commissioning a picnic table from you.

I got the rest of the PB'n done tonight...

I tried out the grout bag. That thing worked great!. Like using a caulk gun that spits out PG.

Had a little waste, but it cleaned off real nice after the PB cured.

Even made a little video if I can figure out how to post it I will.

OK, Cool, Now I'm intrigued...this grout bag could end up on my next Home Depot shopping spree...those PB fillets look crazy good and I bet they went fast...???

How well did the bag clean up? Still reuseable?

With the bag I put down a 3/4" line...one swipe with my wooden spoon and they were done. Wish I had done a video using it. I made one using the spoon, but it is huge, need to edit it.
I think the bag will be reusable yes. The batch I made up was extra thick, so opened the bag, spooned it in and rolled the bag to get it out.

Glad to see the bag worked out well for you. It makes it go so much faster.
Great looking work.
You'll be putting a deck on very soon.
Like the vid.

Thanks Decker.

Took a break tonight. Just some cleanup and inspected the work from last night.

Vacation soon so should be able to get the deck complete by the end of that.

Very cool video... You are the "fillet whisperer"

P.S. I am thinking about sending my son on his wilderness survival camping trip with a pail of acetone and an egg beater... Seems much easier than rubbing some sticks together (that's so old school) :facepalm:
