Patching a Crack in My '73

[Blue_Runner]

I've got some system 3 "quick fair" that I'm using to fill and fair the crack that RB found. I applied a first coat yesterday evening. This evening I will go back and sand it down and apply another skim coat. Then next week when I get back from the beach I will sand that smooth and seal it up with some system 3 two part epoxy.


Here are some of the tools of the trade. Plastic silverware makes great mixing tools and applicators!
Note: I did not use the huge spackle. Should have known it wasn't right for the job ::)


And here is the boat:
















The Crack - WARNING! CRACK KILLS! Note: This boat is no stranger to bottom patching. PO must have been a "shallow water fisherman" LOL. I cleaned and sanded it nice and smooth and then feathered on the quick fair. This stuff can be hand sanded in 3 hrs and machine sanded in 4 hrs. Hence the name "quick fair" ;)




I know some will ask, so here is dad's smoker (custom built) and burn down barrel (old air tank).
