So Here She is

[tartuffe]

Just got off the phone with tec support, told him I painted on Sunday and that ithe boat sits on my carport. He said nothing is wrong, probably just put on too thick and to put it in the sun and it will harden up. Man I hope thats the case. The thing is that I astarted to run out on one of my hatches

If it is that will be good to know. Still have to buy another quart to fix the spot I hit at 6:30 this morning with the sander to see how bad it was going to be to get off

Even worse is that it came off pretty easily with 120 grit so I'm not a believer just yet.

awesome job

Installed the rub rail today. It was a one person job that could have used 2. If there is a hell and it has levels similar to what is described in Dante's Inferno, one layer is just putting on rubrail.

Here is a tip: Do not overtighten the screws, its will cause the rail to pucker a bit. I was half way through when I noticed this so I backed all the installed screws out a turn. I hope the pucker disappers when it heats up a few times. The remainder of the rail is nice and smooth.

Also another thing, I used C-clamps to grab a hold of the rub rail at the transom and then used a ratchet strap to stretch the railing tight. It worked great.

I'll post pics tomorrow, fingers are too sore to screws with photos at the present.

One other thing, if you want to track illegal immigrants, put a 1/4" bead of 5200 on the border. That stuff sticks to everything and gets everywhere.

Can't wait to see it!!...did the floor harden up??...LOVE that nearly black BLUE!!...if I ever paint this '84, that's ZACKLY what I had in mind!!...did you spray or roll & tip?

The floor did harden up after about a week to 9 days. I tried rolling and tipping 6 different ways and sanded 6 coats almost off. 1 coat of sprayed and it came out really glossy.
