Re: Eric's C21
Eric, I know it was quite an excercise for you but your experience might help other builders make a good, informed decision on which Primer to use!! Have a good Sunday!! Jeff
Re: Eric's C21
Thanks Everyone for the kind words and interest.
After a long business meeting I decided to sand the places I had applied the surface primer. It sanded well without the fumes/odor of the first stuff.
Never the less, I'll stick with S3 primer from now on. Below is a picture of what I'm calling good enough.
I have a pump to install on a machine in the morning.
Once that's done I have a setup on the same machine, medical buckles for lifting large people in the hospitals.
Then, I have three programs to edit for a PITA small run of parts on a lathe. That customer decided to go backwards after 3 years of success with the design changes I made to save him money. It's his pocket that it will crunch, so be it.
Then, maybe, just maybe, I can find a window between thunderstorms to wash the boat again. We have rain forecast all week.

Eric, well done in persisting and getting the primer result to your high standards. Now wash that baby then give her a slap of black on the bottom.
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).
