I have been considering asking for it to be moved to the restoration section...

The bulkheads are in, and began smoothing things out to prep for gel. Its starting to look like a boat again.

I didn't see pics of engine mounts done yet, but there's pics here of what I did in my last boat using aluminum angle. Will probably be doing this one as well.

Also I like how your doing the bulkhead. Much better than the laminate they used..

Thanks, Its also a HELL of a lot more work, I'm three weeks into trying to smooth the interior and prbably have another two to get where I want. Laminate and carpet seems like a better idea all the time
Your motor mounts look good I will probably do something similar.

Are you spaying the dykem guide coat after you thin with acetone or wiping it on? Nice thread.

I was just wiping it on but spraying it might put it on thinner. Thinner would be better, it still plugs paper up.

Got it, thanks. I just ordered some spray cans of it from Amazon.

Two weeks my A$$......a month later and I'm ready to shoot....kinda. Sprayed the cuddy floor monday and not sure weather to redo it or just move on. Still trying to figure out what to use when I do shoot the rest. Not real happy with how stuff is laying down




Not nearly as smooth as I wanted....

Looks great in pictures.

it looks awesome, your doing some great work !
if you find a way to shoot gel so that wet sanding is minimal to non existent, please tell me
what type of gun, tip size and psi are you shooting at ?
what product are you using so the gel dries ?
2 coats ? activated gel, then activated gel w/ whatever product for the air dry

there is touch up on my boat that hasn't happened yet only because wet sanding is outside of my ability
i can go from 800 to 2000 changing directions each grit w/ clean water every time, buff it and still see sanding marks
when the sun goes across it.
