Painting a hull

[Capt Chuck]

I also will be closing up all the screw holes in the transom Then I will go and get the filler for the scatches on the hull
Any advise on what to use?

Try the Fasco products. They sand like fiberglass. The 2-part Fastone Epoxy putty works great. They are located near you in Hialeah, Fl.

While you have access...go over the hull cap joint. fix if needed.

Hi Jorge

Jorge I can fish till my hair falls out and my eyes bleed and my hands cramp and then some.. But if I have to fix something cosmetically Im SCREWED... But that fasco product sands so smooth It makes a college ebucateded fool llike miself feel like a pro...

I used the two part epoxy fairing compound about fifty a shot and hold up well below waterline. Sanded easy and turned out nice.. It looks so nice you tend to want to oversand thinking it can get better but only gets worse..
Best wishes and happy new year
Chris

I HATE SANDING!!!!!!

I'm about 1/2 way done doing to bottom but in some places the strip away product left some areas with bottom paint.

I've tried sanding it but with the dust of the bottom paint(which I'm sure it not good for you) I have a mask..... I think I will wait till tommorow and buy some more strip away and let it work.
But overall I am pleased with the results so far

Just as I wrapped it up and picked up the weather changed here..rain and a front coming in

Jorge if you hook up your sander to a shop vac it will make it a little more enjoyable. A Dewalt oscillating sander will hook right up to a small shop vac hose.

It's looking good on the prep work. This time of year down your way seems great for the Roll and Tip. She's gonna be one pretty MA.

Btw, Ya gonna fill those vents in?..Just curious

[jorgeinmiami]

My idea is to have the vents but not in a way that water can get in.
The ones that came with the boat are in poor shape so I plan to get new ones.

But now that you mention it filling in the holes might be agood idae.

You guys just keep adding to the list
