Thank You My Crayon Eating Friend!
If that's what Fuzz is offering I might take up the offer. My luck, I'd get up there and have to fair and coat a 100' hull.
Re: Eric's C21
Not wanting this get this started. My left knee is showing out and giving me pain.
It's hot as two rats scroggin in a wool sock.
No relief on the heat until 8/25 then it is suppose to drop into the low 80's. I started anyway, gonna take it easy.
It's 10:30 and this is all I have done. Having to stop and rest my knee. It really sucks getting old.
Wish I could go back in time and tell my younger self not to be so damn gung ho with my PT and sports.
Oh well, I digress. Onward to boat building.
Wet or Dry Sand?
That is the question. Both make a heck of a mess. For me, working a section at a time, I find dry working best. As soon as I have the surface gloss knocked down, I spray with water and wipe clean with paper towels. Wet sanded the first two section and it made a bigger mess and was more difficult to sand. This is what works for me. If you want to wet sand your boat more power to you.

I knew it! Obsessive compulsive sanders disorder. I have it too...and there is no cure for it. Maybe we should start an OCSD support group. The only benefit of OCSD is it makes your boat look really good!
Re: Eric's C21
I know it seems that way for me but I'm not gonna put epoxy on top of slick epoxy. I'm trying my best to keep this at a minimum.
With the heat and knee I not having any fun right now.
Re: Eric's C21
I had the same issue with the knees. Soft knee pads really help.

Re: Eric's C21
The PT exercises the military uses are horrible and yes, we love abusing our bodies by trying to out do each other... Youth has it's advantages and plenty of disadvantages.
Knee pads will help. I like that suggestion. When I was stocking groceries I used them all the time.
Looking good. Carry on.
