Not Much

[msbhammer]

Well, its not much of a repair, but its something. I removed that gay a$$ anchor holder that didnt fit my anchor. grinded down the holes and a few others, and started playing with the West System. The next this I know, I was sanding under the Lewes Moon light., but I guess its better then sanding under latest midnight fires we been having. So hopefully sometime this week if the weather holds, I'll get the hatch back on along with the newly stained hatch rails. Using this crappy Interlux paint. The Awlgrip is just to much cash for a tight wad light myself. *;D

Thewarning label should state, dont sell to HAMMER, he cant paint !!!. I hate painting!!.
Also, must wait 16 hours between 2nd and third coat. That Bites !!. >:(

I have done the same repair!! along with old att mount and bow rail holes.
I used Formula 27, its white and with a little sanding the color blended right in and no paint!!

Good work there!

Does West System still smell like peanutts?

[boatnluvr]

That looks like bondo. Is the West System fiberglass or plastic filler (or both)? I have a few holes I need to fix up too.

[Stinky_Hooker]

Lookin good man!!


I too used the same as MJ on my bow rail removal and didnt have to paint. Good times. 8)

[msbhammer]

West system is a resin. What M.J. and STINK did with the Form-27 sounds alot easier then what I did. I had some left over so figure I'd put it to use.
here's the first coat on the bow and third coat on the hatch covers.

[macojoe]

Admit it you just love paint! I bet you have spent more on paint then anything else with that boat!!

Looking good!! ;)

[Stinky_Hooker]

Lookin nice man!!!!

[msbhammer]

Only down fall is that once you start sliding the hatches back and fourth, it will start tearing back into the paint. Seen that vinly trim that you guys put around your starboard dashes, thinking I might see if it works on the underside of the forward hatch cover. Will be at West Marine in the morning shoplifting, oops, I meant to say shopping. ;D

[msbhammer]

OH yeah, I forgot to mention something.
Parish posted a pic. sometime ago of a muder suspect wanted here in Lewes, well the employees at West Marine have not seen me there in awhile. When I went into the store, they thought I was the murder suspect since I matched the wanted poster so well.
I finally had to say who I was and who I worked for. :o
