Re: Painting
Hi Fellow-Ship
Glad to hear that you are primarily doing prep work for priming.....and not trying to GRIND down epoxy. What tools are you having the best luck with doing all the fairing work??
How fresh was the paint on the bottom when you had it blasted....mine is coming off rather easily by scraping....then I'll hit it with the random orbit to clean it up all the way....was also thinking of using that PEEL AWAY product...I've tried the Interlux Interstrip 299 on the boot stripe and it works well ... Ihave heard that the Peel Away works the best.....
Your Pitting ... I'm assuming it was osmotic blistering?? Thats why I dont know if I want to blast the bottom if the paint is coming off easy for me...there are no signs of blisters but on a 25 year old hull I'm sure its going to pock up somewhat.
Hey how did the hatches look after the first coat of paint??
And yes I haven’t figured out how to handle the helm….I like the Idea of being on the center line of the boat and hiding behind that nice console….but I think my “first mate” or as she believes, the Captain would have something to say about me hogging the area behind the console….esp up here in the NE….one good wave and your not only wet but frozen….but then again I’m sure she will make it out a couple of times and that be it for the season..
