And we have a console back in 1 piece.
Used thickened epoxy to fill the rivet holes from the outside. A quick skim of 3m platinum lightweight filler down the joint and sanded by hand with a 12" foam board and ready for primer.
I used interlux paints rolled and tipped on the whole boat. I know pretty much nothing about fairing and painting so I used their primer as well in an effort to stick with all the same brand, I think it was epoxy primecote. I did 3 coats of primer with a quick sand between coats.
4 coats of interlux snow white and its ready to start cutting holes to mount everything. Since around this time it was miserable hot outside I cut out and rigged the whole console in my shed where there's A/C and then put in the boat and connected everything.
