Agree, nice progress!! Jeff

Snails pace? Hardly, incredible progress in a short time, with great quality. Impressed and humbled!

Finally ready for primer and paint. Put a thinned coat of epoxy over the entire hull today. Overall I am pleased with the results of the fairing and sanding, the only exception is there is a little waviness where the spray rail meets the hull. Wasn’t obvious until I put the epoxy coat on. I am going to get a coat of primer on and reevaluate before I add any more fairing compound.

The fires out here in Oregon have ruined my elk season so I’m going to hopefully prime this week instead. Waiting on the primer to arrive I ordered last week. I’m going to use the system three yacht primer and EMC quantum 99 paint. Rolling and tipping. I know very little about painting so any advice is welcomed. Specific questions I have is what grit of sand paper should I use for sanding between primer coats and paint coats? What kind of brush to use to tip?

Great job!

Sorry to hear about the elk season. That's on my bucket list. My mule deer needs a friend on the wall and my freezer needs to be filled!

[Jeff]

Nice progress!! Sorry about the season!! I hope you and your family stay safe out there with those crazy huge fires!!! Jeff

Looking great! I used foam rollers like these:

I was able to buy 10 packs at my local hardware store.
I found these worked great for both the System 3 primer and the Awlgrip.
I tried both chip brushes and foam brushes for tipping.
I settled in on foam as I could throw them away and did not have to pick out the loose hairs that always came loose on the chip brushes!
Good luck with your finish!

[Scrappy]

Thanks coach. Using those exact rollers. Will try the foam brush for tipping as, like you said, I had to pick out a lot of bristles applying the first coat of primer. First coat turned out OK I think. Planning on at least to more.

two more
