Wow, removing the old carpet glue from this back aluminum panel sucks! The grinder melts it and slings it everywhere. I've resorted to using my dremmel with a scraper blade. Anyone got any tips on how to make this go easier?
GT, thanks! She is coming along. Took your advice and laid some oil based paint along the side panels and on every piece of foam that I cut or shaved. One more coat tomorrow morning and then I can drop the deck in if the vinyl work goes well tonight.Holy smokes, Steve... You have really made some amazing progress since the last time I checked in... Looking really good... I would make a suggestion...since foam does have a tendency to become a sponge, I was thinking that anyplace your foam may come in contact with water flowing past it, it might not be a bad insurance policy to get some inexpensive oil based paint and slap a couple of coats on to seal the exposed surface of the foam...before covering everything up with your new deck. Keep up the great progress and you be enjoying this boat in no time. Gus
I'm going to be building 6 to 8 hatch covers. What have you guys found to be the best value in both locking and non locking hatch pulls?
Look at the iboats store here first, if you don't see anything you like try a google search for competitive pricing..
