Yeah, that's exactly what I was wondering, if you were cutting into the side panel with the bit. But I'm guessing that's better/easier fix than being too shallow and needing to cleanup with a shoulder plane or a chisel or something along those lines. You can't spell "good" without 'goo".Dan_Smullen wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 6:26 amYes. Varied the depth. Actually went a little too deep in some spots that I’m in the process of filling with goo. A bit with radius corners would have been ideal. Even at the right depth there was some sanding and cleaning up afterwards.

There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Looking really good. Anchor hatch came out nice.
I love working with Spanish cedar. Made a pair of exterior doors for a town library with some not to long ago....good stuff.
Have you come to any decisions on paint or paint colors? I know there's a lot more sanding and prep...but looks like you're getting close to that stage

Actually feel like I’m getting close on sanding. I rolled on a good layer of micro spheres, then a layer of fairing compound. Sanded, and the. Skimmed any low spots. Sanded again, and I think about half of the sides are ready for primer. Will flood coat the sole and skip the fairing compound.
For paint, I’d like a flat gray for the sole and sides. Maybe Parker Duck Boat paint. Same stark white Alexseal I used on the bottom I’ll use on the deck. Kind of hell bent on Stars and Stripes blue for the hull above the waterline.

For mineratt, 1/2 of the side decks glassed. Tempted to add another layer just because. We’ll see.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Yeah, wheels for the strongback.
Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
So you don't need to roll your strongback on pipes like ancient Egyptians building pyramids. I susoect you have casters, but the photo looks medeviel.Dan_Smullen wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 3:35 pmI don't follow, FG.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Dan, thank you for the picture. I wanted to try to fully encapsulate the rub rail with glass while it was upside down but I just could not do it with the 12 oz biax tape. I got the side of the boat tied to the underside of the rub rail then had to trim off the rest of the tape as it completely lifted off. I did go back and add two layers of 2 oz cut strips to provide a little protection when i flip it over. I was trying to attack it while it was upside down to control the drips. But I like how yours looks, I like how it ties the deck to the sides of the rub rail. I am thinking that seam will be under some pretty good stress with rod holders, cleats, peopling sitting on it, etc. When i get to this stage I think I will do what you are doing.Dan_Smullen wrote: ↑Sun Apr 03, 2022 9:27 pm For mineratt, 1/2 of the side decks glassed.
