I have found that a strategically placed beer can / bottle is a great aid in the boat building process.

NM you are correct! Plus they are my Buds helping me out thru this insanity. So 5th coat on coffin and 1st coat on bilge. Major sanding in bilge and I said to myself f it it's the bilge. So I'm pretty dusted. But anywho done. Pics stinks. I think I have zool camera.

I guess that would be true if the can or bottle remained full. I find that the empty ones actually hinder my boat building process lol

Interestingly enough, there is a fair amount of research to support the idea that alcohol consumption increases one's creativity! arty: But only to a point, then everything slides into the crapper :facepalm:

2 to 6 or more layers of 1700 in the bilge areas. That pic reflects 1st skinny coat of your recipe.
Wondering why you ask?

 

[kcassells]

Butter it up again tom.


Alittle crisper pics.

It almost looked like a PRO did the layup and I was wondering if you could ask him to give me lessons!!!! The glass is totally clear, not a trace of a bubble or wrinkle. Obviously did not use to much resin or it would look milky or cloudy. If you REALLY DID do it, then all I can say is...I'd hire you for sure!!!!:rockon:

Awe Shucks Mike... I have to say it again it's all about listening to you and all the other Great Guys here on IBoats. Read, Listen, learn...
I threw another coat on so now I've been up @ 23 hours. Au Naturale..I'm sure going to sleep tonight. This 4/10's work schedule is great.
Getting a little exciting now with the progress.

Well drilled out holes for electric stuff. Went with a 2" conduite. Worked out ok.Front to back. Ran another coat of paint. Beat...time for a Kevin Philly CheeseSteak says I!
I have a little paint left so I'll go recoat the bilge in a few hours.

 

[kcassells]

Did the next paint in the bilge. Set some heat lamps to help. We're getting alot of dew during the evening.
No pics...I think you saw it. So time for me Philly Steaks says I@!

 

[Mikeopsycho]

It really looks great! Are you gonna seal up where the conduit chase goes through the bulkheads with something? You're sure getting a lot done these days! :thumb:

 

[kcassells]

Yea I sealed up all the rough wood plus old areas with EEEEEpppoooxxy this morning. Reworked all the weep holes and also sealed them. Letting everything set up. Tom or tonight depending on the EAGLES game and my condition I will be PB'ing all the edges and resetting the conduite/weep holes.
Yea the Bucket List is haunting me. LOL!:joyous:
GO EAGLES!
