The depth of these bubbles is only a little thicker then couple pieces of tape. I figure I can spend my time sanding and fairing the hull after hitting these areas with a grinder then trying to sand the complete laminate down to the next layer beyond the …

Fairing is process of smoothing out and restoring the damaged surface of the hull. A fairing compound such as Epoxy resin can be used to fill in divots or gouges and then be sanded to a smooth finish. This restores the surface to its original shape and also prepares it for painting.

Hand waxed it; easiest part of the whole process. Used Meguiars Pure Wax 56. Applied with a cotton hand towel; let it dry to haze and wiped with cotton towels. Very happy with it. I'm still anal about my blemishes that I see but the captain says it looks great. Now, what I've been dreading, drilling into my hull and mounting the tower!

Hit the Beach (Part 11) We begin this week's installment with a rundown of Popeye and Mister Magoo shorts for which exact air dates are unknown – probably first seen in 1960 or '61. Then, we move on to other contributions from 1961, including TV offerings from Hanna-Barbera, and a brief theatrical renaissance from Walt Disney.

Fairing a hull is more than just sanding it smooth. It is the process of making the hull as true to the form shape as possible and round from sheer line to centerline with as few "waves" in the hull as possible. How well you building your hull and making sure strips were aligned well, will determine how much

Gato hull spread affter cutting top from bottom. 02-28-2012, 11:28 PM. I have cut the upper hull from the lower as the Dvd showed. It came out good. After gluing the inner hull supports and the upper deck attachments as shown, there's an overlapping in the center area. The upper hull/deck overlaps the lower hull about 1/16" on both sides.

Slurry blasting or the later soda blasting is much kinder on the hull than dry-sand blasting. If the hull hasn't been blasted before - be prepared for voids and pits to appear where it cuts out 'dry' laminate / air pockets. If you have coppercoat or epoxy - …

The goal of hull fairing is to bevel the edges of the bulkheads so that the hull planks lay flat. If we didn't do this, the planks would only hit the corners of the bulkheads. The process is pretty simple: Hold or secure a hull plank against the bulkheads. Note where the plank doesn't lie flat across the bulkhead edges. Sand until it does.

Clean the hull thoroughly so that you remove any old wax and debris or you'll just sand that into the hull. If you have any serious dings in the hull this would be the time to use fairing compound. Most of these are two part epoxies - but that's just for damage. Then the sanding. You want to remove any of the shine from the gel coat to ensure ...

mixmkr. Reading another thread, it was suggested that some #220 sandpaper to scuff the hull, actually was faster than a waxed hull. Knowing a bunch of J22 racers and such, they always wet sand with #1200 or so and would only use 220 to sand out scratches. I can't see the Americas Cup boats using such a course grit either.

The large full facepiece respirator tends to block my peripheral vision, and as I stood up after kneeling to sand near the bottom of the keel, my shoulder hit the aft jackstand. It tipped over! Quickly, I grabbed the chain connecting it to the other jackstand which, fortunately, was on the downhill side (and therefore supporting more weight, I ...

Hit the Beach (Part 4) Ending the 30's and into the 40's, we find numerous additional outings for the sand and surf crowd, mostly for leisure purposes, but with a couple of returns to the "Robinson Crusoe" theme. Interestingly for old time radio fans, we find two episodes broadly lampooning the famous "Jack Benny Program" radio show ...

My process was to pressure wash all the aftermarket paint off, sand with 320 with a palm sander, and an acetone wipe down. Then I hit all the bare metal spots with self etching primer, and put Rustoleum bare metal primer on the entire surface and sanded again (if you're spraying you can skip this second sanding, I believe).

• Use of silica: In most of the countries, sand is used as abrasive in the process which is banned because of different health hazards. • Heat generation: The process of sand blasting includes projection of particles with high velocity, so when these material hit the surface, a lot of heat is generated which can harm the surface.

Hi I have a GP1200r and I am in the process of repairing the hull as I hit a logg the other day. Seeing as the hull is being painted I was wondering if there was anyway to protect the hull for when its being beached. Not that I drive the ski flat out onto the sand but when I park the ski it does move around making the sand act like sand paper.

Re: The proper way to wet sand a Gel coat hull Vinegar is an excellent mild solvent. It will not damage the gelcoat and it will remove any of the sanding dust particles on the boat. Acetone could be used I guess, but not recommended because it can deteriorate the gelcoat and effect the resins in the hull.

He wanted to sand out the scratches before filling them. My hull is so scratched, I'm debating whether to sand it down first as well...it sounds like the best way is to gel coat and then sand, but with the current state the hull is in, it sure is tempting to hit it …
