Re: Steve's FS18

First time logging in here in a while. Funny how life can get in the way. Spent some time going through ol' Cracker Larry's posts. Miss that guys input! Looks like a lot of other builds going on which is good to see. I'm officially tired of walking around my boat in the garage. I'm going to make the...

Re: Steve's FS18

BB, Very little to answer your question. I think I've been once. Just too busy with work. Sorry for the late response. This is the first time I've logged on the site in a while. I did clean up the garage so I could work on the boat and finish it up a few weekends ago. The boat was doing a real good ...

Re: Steve's FS18

Thanks Ken. Good to hear from you and thanks for the compliments! I jumped in here before heading in to work to get my mind on something else for a little while. Been working my butt off lately in response to COVID but I'm just blessed and thankful to be working right now and still have my health. I...

Re: Steve's FS18

Thanks OrangeQuest I didn't get the painting done Monday like I planned. I wanted to fair the transom where it isn't painted in the pic above and one spot on the bow. It's supposed to be nice this weekend. The plan was to not paint the transom spot yet but now I can get it all done at one time. We'l...

Re: Steve's FS18

Getting ready to put topside on this weekend. Here's a few pics of the process to get here. All faired up and ready to go. Only a few little spots to fill still. I think I'm going to grind down that nose so I can bend some taco rail around it. http://gallery.bateau2.com/albums/userpics/89661/2020011...

Re: System Three Quik Fair over System Three Primer

I've faired small defects with QF after primer. I always lightly sand and clean the area first. Even if the instructions say it's not necessary to sand, I do it anyhow. Learned this approach from my friend CL. Same with painting, I always sand the primer before painting. I had some S3 paint fall of...
