I also couldn't stand it and prepped a small area for primer yesterday. This is some good stuff for sure. Coats great, dries fast.







As you can see from the pic theres about 150# of paint buckets in there holding some wood to dry. She didnt flex a bit.

Cool

Can ANYONE tell me WHY paint has suddenly gotten so damn expensive?? I mean, WTF??? I'm prepping to paint my house right now, and just the cost of the paint is what I used to pay for painters to come in and paint the whole house!!! OMG!! WTF is going on? $70 for a gallon of house paint???

Destroyer, I dont know what kinda paint your buying but I can get good stuff here for 120-150 for 5 gallons...gallons run 35-40.This is good exterior BLP or Valspar house paint. I go through tons of it at works.




As far as the boat...


No updated pic cause I just worked on some fairing yesterday but I did get a chance to weigh it. 40.5 lbs. I did the bathroom scale trick (with and without holding it). As it sits right now Ive got about 1-2lbs of materials left to add at MOST. Im pretty happy with that! I was hoping 30-35lbs but Im not far "over budget".
