It was definitely sweaty out there. Scrambling to get the bag on. Never got a perfect seal but I am sure I had a couple psi on it

Re: FREE 17 MAKO
Joel, have you ever looked at Aircell foam? We wound up buying 2 inch for that hardtop project. Heavier to get the same properties as divinycell. I will start a thread on that project. Need to come up and get glass and resign. What days are you open this week?
Re: FREE 17 MAKO
Call before stopping by to pick up materials, especially around holidays. We will be there tomorrow and Wednesday but will close on Thursday and probably on Friday. I have not made up my mind . . .
Yes, we know Aircell.

Re: FREE 17 MAKO
Any concerns with the Aircell and marine epoxy or concerns overall? Thanks

Re: FREE 17 MAKO
A bit of an update on the 17. Got the bottom faired and graphite coated. Also primed and faired the hull 3 times! Looking to paint in the next week and flip it back over.

Re: FREE 17 MAKO
Painted the boat over the holiday weekend and flipped it back over. Didn't get a phote of it flipped back though. Came out good. Built a temporary spray tent so no dust!

This is a photo of the spray tent I built. The back was closed in with screen at the top and plastic at the bottom. Had two fans blowing air in through filters. Moved the compressor out of the garage and un-plugged everything so no explosions from the paint fumes!
