At least with those temps you shouldn't have to preheat the cavities to get max fill with the foam :laugh:

I have been working on the Admirals deck outside. it's going to be installed in sections. First area went down over the beat up concrete pads.
Then had to do wider steps. I used the "box step" method instead of stringers. More wood and more time but the run/rise is the same formula. Plus it lets me move it around. Got it set temp. Will stain and going to add cedar steps vs. treated for alittle accent. Yea........
I haven't been missing time on the boat but mixing it up with the new project.
Drilled out for more foam fill/flotationfoam combination. Not so bad but a pia.
So learned a coulple of tricks.
-After you make a mix with a drill and a paddle place the paddle in acetone. Kills the expansion and lets you keep on using it.
-You can re- use the old mix buckets with foam in it assuming you are able to still use the paddle.
-Keep a bucket marked for A and B, then combine in a bigger bucket.

Have a nice Ass Post Roast on slow cook so going there after this post. Putting the veges together ya see.

I certainly hope those beers were empty when you knocked them over like that...:eek:

They were strategically placed after consumption. Def. empty.
Ran the last of the foam and will clean up the deck AGAIN. Get ready for glass, glass, prime them move to enclosing the sole deck and cuddy with roof and sides. So moving along.

Don't want to create a political note/forum/referendum but I am so freaking tired of these mass shootings. Don't really care on your gun or political affiliations/beliefs One way or the other something needs fixed.
Heading out to the gun shop and load up.

The foam is not a nice thing or hard....just a pia.
Done on all the cavities. Mushrooms and brains they look like says I!

Does anyone have any opinions of how black powder coat holds up in salt water? On aluminum.

It will hold up fine until its compromised, then corrosion will spread underneath,and its difficult to repair. A 2 part polyurethane paint over a properly prepared surface is usually best,and can be touched up before corrosion can spread.

What R U coating?

I was thinking a rod rack holder at the end of the roof, some tiedown cleats...

Nothing you haven't seen. Went back in today after some crazy rains last night and fill the last foam holes.
I'll let them all set up, sand then fair. Getting to glassing the deck hopefully this weekend.
And building more on the Admirals deck off the house.
Goiung back to 4 tens so I'll kinda have a longish weekend. Yahoo!
