I found a good way to clean my hull bottom!

It's a little extra work but should pay off in the long run:sifone:

Started out by taking the boat off the trailer:biggrinjester:

[LS1Nova]

[LS1Nova]

I guess it's time to start sanding now:lurk5:

 

[LS1Nova]

Man that was alot of sanding! Wore my azz out!

 

[LS1Nova]

Hit some of the filler areas with a couple coats of gel then sanded flat again.

Looks pretty sweet Frank! Now was that fun or what?!! makes you wanna be a glass guy huh?

 

[LS1Nova]

Got the gel laid down, so now it's time to sand some more:boxing_smiley: then buff.

Your nuts!!!!!!!

In the middle of shooting the 1st coat of gel I had a little mishap. The disposable water seperator I was using decided to blow up. So I had to try and hold my pain gun and wrestle the flopping air line to keep it from hitting the wet gel. Man did that ever suck!

Then shortly after that I learned a valuable lesson about how long it takes gel to kick in a pain gun!:boxing_smiley::dupe:

 

[LS1Nova]

Make sure you get plenty of mixing cups:sifone: And a good 5 gal of gel and duratec:drool5:

 

[LS1Nova]

Your nuts!!!!!!!

[LS1Nova]

I have to give a HUGE thank you to GlassDave for all the technical help and guideance. Thank you again Dave! I couldn't have mustered up the coconuts to do it without ya!

Rule one of working with polyesters- Keep a gallon of MEK around.

Amen to that! I got a good system down after I had to clean/scrape out my gun. After every cup I would shoot some mek through it and douche out the cup. That seemed to make all the difference for me.
