Thank You! I was thinking along these lines, but I wanted to run it by you guys on the forum.Aripeka Angler wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 5:59 pm Nice shop! It's way cleaner than mine The rocket is too cool!
It depends.
Scenario 1) If your fairing is perfect, roll on a coat of primer. When the primer is dry to the touch, put on another coat without sanding. At this point, I would let the primer dry completely overnight and lightly sand. Roll on a final coat or two of primer and let it dry. Lightly sand and you are ready for paint. I have alway gave the final coat of primer a week to dry before paint.
Scenario 2) If you are not satisfied with the first prime coat, (pinholes, etc) you may have to do touch up filling and sanding between coats. Let the each coat of primer dry completely before touching up defects with fairing compound. At this point, it takes as many coats as it takes to get happy...

Re: Eric's C21
You're welcome.
Make sure to clean the boat very well before the first coat of primer and after each round of sanding.
For the first wipe down, I use clean lint free rags with water to remove the dust and finish with denatured alcohol soaked rags.
I'm excited to see your boat in primer

Re: Eric's C21
I'm excited too! After I drop off my girls in the morning, I'm rolling her outside for a wash down with Dawn detergent. I hope to remove any oil from the machine shop. Day of primer I will go with denatured alcohol an hour or so before before rolling. I'm hoping to find paint strainers at Walmart tomorrow. We had a PPG Paint store but it closed down three years ago. I hate that too, they all the supplies you needed to paint cars etc. I may have go for a drive tomorrow and go on the hunt. I'm searching the net for something nearby.Aripeka Angler wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 7:29 pm You're welcome.

Re: Eric's C21

Ok so prime till you are happy..............what is the over/under? I am putting my bet on 7 coats.
Need to talk to the BBC folks. There needs to be two classes of builder threads. One for normal folks and one for the truly over the top nuts

Re: Eric's C21
Wow, Forgot all about the Bad Azz Rocketry thing. I remembered you using an E-mail address with that name for your plans order. That is just plain Awesome. Your shop looks like it has damn near everything! I can hardly imagine the trouble I would get into in a shop like that.
Re: Eric's C21
Thanks Glossieblack, Tom and Jamie!
Yes Jamie, It is easy to get into trouble with the tools on hand. You would not believe some of the things I've been ask to make and modify.
As far as the rocketry thing, I used to monitor where all the website hits came from. You would be surprised to have seen all the hits from Iran,Afghanistan etc. I had messages from people there wanting me to teach them how to make rocket fuel. HE!! NO!
So The guys in the shop helped me roll the boat outside for a wash down.
Here is a picture of Ray Next to the boat.
From the field behind the shop.
After washing I found some pin hole on the bottom to fill.
Both spray rails had pin holes too. I pretty much had to fill the entire port spray rail.
I just did't see these when the boat was inside. Sunlight made all this jump out at me.
All of that and a bit more has been filled and I'll sand it this afternoon.
I left the boat outside so the quick fair will be cured. I'm picking up the kids at 2:30 so it will be after that.
That's all from this Fairly Mad Boatman.
