[paulsboats]

vacuum bagging.... ensures proper layup and eliminates any air bubbles or excess resin.

must of bumped somthing huh

Jeff , for your type of appllication bagging is really not necessary considering the weight of the fabric which in your case actually would be a waste of time even though bagging can be very useful at times it really is not needed considering you have the boat fliped . Jeff , i think you will find the primer to sand like butter and no need for special Activator's or reducer's other then Acetone & MEKP. ( Catalyst )

 

[OFFSHORE GINGER]

BADBK , Bagging is always a good idea and it looks like you used a Venturi for bagging the bottom of that boat or was it an actual Pump ?

they are sending the catalyst with the primer...easy sanding?...im all for that!

Finished the port side with cloth today....and the damaged nose....the picture of the starboard side is finished and awaiting primer....looks like ill be starting on the finish sand on the rest of the hull and deck ...220 is what my painter asked for....

 

[ballardnboyz]

heres the nose work...tough pictures as its much smoother in person...

 

[paulsboats]

how are your arms and shoulders holding out? looking good! thinking of doing the bottom of mine this winter.

 

[OFFSHORE GINGER]

Jeff, very coooooooooooooool , and your painter & i think alike considering i always put everything in #220 before paint . Hey bro .....the easy sanding comes after breaking the surface ,and at this point in time the rest should be a walk in the park for you ,and just curious are you doing the actual spraying of the Primer ........and if so the bigger the tip the better which means you will be able to push more material at a faster rate but non the less i will give you a call tomorrow ,and to tell you the truth i actually am very curious (excited) to see what type of gains (mph) you have achieved thru all this hard work .

 

[OFFSHORE GINGER]

Wow guys , i just noticed i have moved up the ladder to Convincer Status with mor Rep power .

Ya was told to use a #2 or bigger tip....
my painter is spraying it here in my shop...as well as the finish primer and white Imron on the bottom...then when its upright and the deck is reattached he ll spray the dark red in his booth..What do you think of the paint scheme?

 

[ballardnboyz]

still got you beat....

 

[OFFSHORE GINGER]

still got you beat....

Ha Ha Ha Yes you do COMMANDER And i like the paint scheme and hopefully your painter has a bigger tip then 2. and yes once again the bigger the tip the better .....................trust me .

 

[paulsboats]

Unfortunately that isn't a picture of my handy work. Never bagged a boat, only airplane parts and advanced composites. Was just sayin, instead of babysitting your work until it sets to get it where you want, slap a bag on it, go have a beer, all is well.

Jeff , whats going on , and we the people need an update .

Wow, you sure are a nosy bunch! ...

Heres where were at...sanded with 120 ready for hi-build primer tonight....I will be sanding that on thursday with 320 then hopefully the bottom will get the white Imron paint friday, I would like to flip her back onto the trailer this weekend so I can get the deck reattached by middle of next week...

 

[OFFSHORE GINGER]

Jeff just curious did you get the white primer (714-002 ) and personally i think that trying to sand everything in #320 to get ready for paint is going to be a long road blowing thru a lot of paper in a heartbeat . Just my 2 cents ........................
