Fairing the skeg and spray rails have taken just as long as building the hull. This is tough work.

It is purely amazing how some of the "little" things can eat up time.

Re: Panga 20 Build
Yes, what Fuzz said. The rub rails on my AD16 took a lot of fairing material, sanding and time...something I thought would've been a much easier process. Your boat is looking really good!

Re: Panga 20 Build
It's hard to work in a garage that's 110+. I'm a little concerned about painting in high temps and high humidity. How does this affect the paint laying down?

I think you are going to have trouble.

Re: Panga 20 Build
Can you paint in the morning, before sunrise? Our warehouse starts to heat up around 10 in the morning and will reach 3 digits before noon if all the doors are closed. You will need to have a hydrometer set up inside your work space to make sure the humidity is low enough per the specs from the manufacturer of your paint.
Love the race of mixing 2 part foam in those conditions! It starts to react as soon as you start to pour the two parts together!!

Re: Panga 20 Build
I'm planning on rolling. I havnt made up my mind on EMC or Alexseal. I guess I could wait until it cools down a little. As far as humidy goes, its usually pretty high in the summer. Take a shower, get dressed, walk outside and within a minute your clothes are wet.
Re: Panga 20 Build
FluidDynamic, We have not sold Alexseal Paints in the past but I just had a recent request regarding this brand and I have a supplier where I can get it easily here in Florida. But boy, is that stuff expensive!! Makes EMC & AwlGrip look cheap!! Just let me know when you want something priced!! Jeff
