Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration
Here are some pictures until I can get the video edited. My son shot the video and I will have to spend some time to cut out the bad parts.
Here is what I did.
1. I sanded each surface one more time with my DA sander and 60 grit
2. Cleaned each surface with acetone
3. Mixed 3 quarts of resin, added my hardener, and then mixed in 1/4" Chopped fibers and cabosil until it reached PB consistency
3. I spread it on both surfaces about 1/4" thick and slapped it on.
4. Once in place I used 2X4 Clamps for pressure and I used the sqeeze out to make my fillets.
DONE!
Now I mixed my resin very slow and it still went off in 20 minutes. Talk about close!. Also You can see in the pictures that I did not take the transom all the way to the drain hole (was like that from the factory), and added a 3/4" piece of PVC that leads to the drain. I then filleted the area with PB. There is no way water will get in that wood now.
My plan today is to tab in the transom with two layers of 1708 and then skin it with two layers of 1708.
Major Clampage!!
I alternated between flat and on end for the clamps
Filleted the strakes for easy fiberglass layup
This is the new drain. It leads back to the brass threaded drain plug.
Here you can see where I added some PLY to the 2X4 so that i could have pressure on the outside. It worked nice.
