I left the boat rather frustrated around noon. I did not take photos. I just had to walk away it was really getting under my skin.

Yep, that' the time to walk. Before you do something silly.

Eric,

You may want to try a finish primer over the high build. I used the EMC surface primer (not high build) over the top of the system 3 for a smoother finish.

Advice taken. Surface primer is on the way. Thank You.

Back at it today. We have a cloudy day so the shop is not quite as hot. 72 this morning and it's 80 right now.
Just thought I'd update status.



Next section.



Side one sanded.

80 degrees? That's like being in a deep freezer.
Your primer is looking pretty much perfect to me.

It did feel nice! Even though it got to 86. Thanks Richard.

I fully agree with AA, we would take 80 at mid-afternoon in our warehouse/shop and would feel like a cold front just hit Vero Beach!!! Jeff

Okay i must have missed something , why do you need a surface primer over the high build ?
I am with Richard on this one i think it looks great. Is there some problem with the primer ?

When I applied the system 3 primer I was able to obtain a very nice finish, but had a very fine orange peel. It may have been ok as it was but I applied the EMC surface primer over the system 3 to eliminate the orange peel before the application of the topcoat. I used these products when painting my D15 skiff. This is system that I used and it worked to my satisfaction.
