[quote=catmodding]Work kept me away from the T , and temps are slowly going down, overhere. So, we sharpened our weapons (a 3Kw heater) and started on the primer. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grotefoto-33NFPD3J.jpg[/img] We rolled the primer and let it cure in the garage at 20 degr C. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grotefoto-K8G7QH63.jpg[/img] The result was a relief, finally no blisters or chemical reactions !! [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grotefoto-SYFUPFBB.jpg[/img] But the hull is still not good enough for paint, to many little cracks and dents. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grotefoto-8FO3KQ64.jpg[/img] So we had another round of putty and sanding. Had a good word with the paint/glass/epoxy-suplier , since the primer finally "separated " the hull from the upcoming layers, he suggested to finish the hull in polyurethane products and recommended 2 layers of topcoat, which is, in fact, a thick polyurethane coat to smoothen the hull. And get rid of the last small ripples and bulbs. [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grotefoto-RHP8TOW4.jpg[/img] And yes, Damon, we rolled and cured it inside ! 8-) [img]http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Grotefoto-3WFFHGFG.jpg[/img] Left the T with a smile today, tomorrow is sanding at 400 grain, and next is hi-gloss paint. Our club lets me use their garage for this project, but I am not allowed to sand in the garage and in the weekends I have to take out the hulls. Takes a lot of planning this way, but I'm so happy with this club !!! Keep You posted. André[/quote]
