Finally got back on the boat again. Been working on my 71 Camaro instead of the boat but it is time to get her finished. I rolled it over to the opposite side so I could do the same as the other side. Sand sand and sanded. Got all the small blisters, nicks, scratches and bad spots filled then sanded. For some reason the back 2 feet or so of this side had some wave in the original gel coat layup and needed some line sanding to correct. I have a Hutchins hustler 2000 and use it on the course work but for this I bought a Hutchins 3800 orbital line sander for the finer grit paper and it gives me a much better finish product. I really love it, should of got it a long time ago. Similar to the standard line sander or flat board but it works like a DA sander in a orbital motion and leaves not scratches. It will leave a very flat surface and flatten out any high spots, waves ect. Sprayed epoxy primer, then sanded sprayed again then filled with epoxy filler then sanded, then primed again, then sanded then fixed any small spots left then primed once again. I will wet sand with 320 then spray white prime coat next. Nice to finally have the boat hull fully primed.
