FG you can also use this on the interior of the tubing. Works well on vehicles for interior frame pieces and tubing.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Well, some progress after a few days of fishing with what is now an old friend. Guy didn't want anyone to pee in his toilet camper. I shit you not.
We did NOT hit it off. He called me an abortionist for voting for Biden. One issue voter. I digress.
Anyhow, I am progressing.
I got the netting beam duranodic coated black. Am getting the other pieces coated champagne color.
The aft beam locker is off the boat and applied the end panels today. The locker is being built fairly light.
I also laid some 6 oz glass over the coaming for the lid.
Time to parboil some brats. We are staying home this weekend.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
I have been busy, but not much to show for it.
90+ outside means 100+ inside and the tent is a hot f_
Today, I installed painted netting beam sockets and the netting beam. It is cut wacky, but fits.
It has duranodic black anodized finish.
I also emailed the electrical tech. Not sure if they have the internet in Bermuda.
Faired some the riser bench top. It got rebuilt with sliding seat.
My main goal is to get my table tops cleared off. They are covered in projects in various stages of done/not.
Czone 8 switch breakout. I think I need a nmea network for it?

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Today, I cut and dry fit the carbon helm overlay. Not 100% sure how to laminate it on... It seems a little round up there, so might need to use vac. There are cutouts on the back, soI have to bag both sides of it...
Some people might try using a caul, but a bit nervous the pressure won't be even and how to apply some ligyt pressure??
Also, screwed in place the heating system door. I bought sugastune clips for it, but wanted it sealed better and didn't leave enough room at the bottom for the clips.
6 oz of quikfair.
Tomorrow some more sanding and fairing. Half day. Going fishin.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
It will be launched next April/May.
There is no practical way to complete the mission before October, so that means cold weather.
My two college graduates are not real helpful, even though they get paid well. The you ger one just got a teaching job and has a gal in Iowa. The older one has a girlfriend in Duluth and she seems pretty needy. He is job searching and I sort of asked him to not work because he won't/didn't respect the relationship and went running to the girl at the drop of her kerchief. But it wouldn't have gone much faster. This is a hard job. The wiring is super complicated. I need a nmea network to turn my lights on!
