He will resist for a few minutes. Then he will break out in cold sweats while someone tries to hold him down. But he will prevail and resume living as a victim of BBSV
Re: Eric's C21
I know Eric doesn't like sanding any more than the rest of us. But he is also a precision machinist who makes his lively hood on detail. So which comes through on this final coat. Well if there are few or very small bubbles he might be satisfied. If more than a few he won't be. Since he has pull everything up and out of the way I will bet against Fuzz and say he is done with the bottom.

Re: Eric's C21
It's great to see a perfectionist getting the job done. Too many perfectionists never finish the job, because their skills or endurance are found wanting.
Well done Eric!

Thank you too my Friend.
My goal with all these posts has been to help other builders. It is my hope they may glean something from my mistakes or successes.
