A little worried about what color the paint will be after it gets wet.

Posted on June 6, 2014 by markhergan

Rain water in paint tray made the paint turn tan. Yuck!

Ready for third coat of Pettit Vivid.

Posted on June 6, 2014 by markhergan

Second coat of Vivid. One more then compounding for a smooth finish.

Posted on June 2, 2014 by markhergan

Used almost 1/2 gallon so far

Compound and waxed hull.

Sealing old transducer opening

Posted on May 24, 2014 by markhergan

It a good feeling when you have a balsa core boat and the core is dry when you cut a hole in it.

Old speed transducer removed and sealed

Posted on May 20, 2014 by markhergan

Overboard thru-hull removed and to be replaced with new transducer

Posted on May 20, 2014 by markhergan

Old bottom paint 95% removed. Decision VC Offshore or Pettit Vivid?

Posted on April 7, 2014 by markhergan

Another 90 minutes of sanding and I should be almost ready to paint.

Not sure what is falling from the skies but it has removed the brown stains from the hull. Normally only On and Off takes it off. Makes me wonder…

75 mins later and I have made a lot of progress today.

I wear my mask and expect to see the outline on my face when I take it off but my face is clean. I am amazed at my Festool sander and dust collection.

Focused on Starboard Aft of bottom today

This is what it looked like before I started sanding today.
