Looks like that primer is laying down nice. Good choice on filling in the pinholes.

The primer did a great job. The first coat is complete!
I'll be back tomorrow to do it again.




Found a patch I'll have to repair, Don't know how I missed these.



Going to pick up Pizza on the way home. It's been a long day.

I am a little surprised to see YOU have some pinholes. Just goes to show how hard it is to see everything until you put a coat of primer on it.
I really like the look of that hull. That is going to be a nice boat.

Congratulations on getting the first coat on. She's looking great. And here's hoping that you're feeling better tomorrow.

Your persistence with fairing has paid off. Your first coat of primer looks great. I have an area with pinholes that looks exactly like yours near my transom that I need to fix.

Looking good Eric another step done. That first coat always seems to bring out a few flaws.

I too was surprised to see a patch of them like this. I've tried to be thorough but these got by me. Thanks for the compliment too!

Thank you Jeff.
It's easy to work with and covers great. You definitely need to wait 15 minutes after mixing. I tried to go with 10 minute on the third batch and it rolled thin. I guess the time allows for the chemicals to start to cross link. After 15 minutes it is the same all the way through the pot life.

Thank You my Friend!

Thanks Tom. Boy does it ever!

First thing this morning I shot the projected waterline with a laser level.
My plan is to only put a second coat of primer above this line as I will be doing epoxy graphite on the bottom.
The bottom came out with out any need of repair.
Lesson learned from yesterday, foam rollers are easy to tear on the trim transition. Today I will prime these with a 2" brush before rolling.
More to come.....Oh Yea, Have a great day!......
