Personally I would see if there is a home remedy first :wink:

The timber is going to look great. And being able to let it grey naturally is a huge plus.

What were you doing the first 4hrs of your just applying the remedy after 4hr? seems like bad planning... Or good planning if you can keep remedy going for 4 hr...

Thanks for the compliments about the timber OQ, Jaysen, Barry, Jeff, cape man, and Fuzz. :D

And nice to see you're at your jovial best on your birthday Jaysen. :wink:

Well... they did make it easy. It’s almost like it was a setup to see “who is the least mature person on the forum”.

Still no call back in the H38. Will ring them tomorrow.

Time to get back to boat building.

Mid morning I received a call from paint man, saying that his major client was jerking him around, and asking if Skinnydip was ready for her next squirt of paint, if major client didn't extract his digit.

Off course Skinnydip was ready and waiting for him, I assured.

No sooner was I off the blower, I was out in the build shed to spend the rest of the day getting her ready. :wink:

With a bit of luck, by tomorrow night she'll have all her non-shinny makeup on, so dry-fitting the timber trim be tackled before her shinny stuff is blown on.

Now it's time for a glass or two of red. :D

Resist temptation Jaysen.

That is sort of good news for SKINNYDIP. Hope all goes well! :)

414 pages later, I am all caught up! What a build and what a story! I feel like am now on the last chapter of a great book, can't wait to see how it ends.
The ST21 is one of my favorites of Jacques designs along with the LB26. And right now they are both being built by Aussies! Build On gentlemen.

There was a question a few pages back about nonskid colors. My $0.02, grey is hot on your feet. On my FS18 I went with the cream colored KiwiGrip. Love it. It is never hot and no glare. The paint on my decks is Cloud White Sterling and they go well together. I have had my boat in the water for close to 5 years now and I am impressed at how KiwiGrip holds up. The stuff is Tough! And it's easy to apply!


Looking forward to seeing you splash SkinnyDip! Great name by the way.
