Re: hull extension in progress with picks
after i did the entire side with 1000 grit....it was time to do somthing i didnt want to do.......i had to aceitont the wax off the other side......
...........im kinda confused here.....i talked to the rep about it...(the wax on top of the gell...) and he said it was unwaxed.....if the gellcoat was waxed...it would have sealed and become hard....and easilly sanded......however....im sure the stuff im cleaning off is wax....?.....so i dont know what it is....if the rep is wrong about what he sold "him" or if the rep is right and im taking the styrene off the gellcoat??????
any hoo..........i had to scrub the entire other side with aceitone.....3 gallons worth.......when i did......i spilled some aceitone over the keel....well.....im kinda anal....so i had to run over and wipe the aceitone off the area i just sanded with 1000 grit....... this is what i saw....
after i cleaned the area....it really shined......this is another pic of the area....
so.......after three gallons of scrubbing the other side....i cleaned the first side with aceitone
this is the side with 1000 grit and no polish
the whole hull gleamed
you can still see minor surface scratches in the gell but its really shiney
well..... i got a glimmer of hope then.....and really went for the other side....it took a long time to take the wax off the other side....but finally it was ready for sanding.....i started with 400 grit (if i didnt clean it with aceitone,,,,,the sand paper would gum up in a second or two of sanding......with the wax gone.....the 400 really chewed the oarange peel
