[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.

We rolled the primer and let it cure in the garage at 20 degr C.

The result was a relief, finally no blisters or chemical reactions !!

But the hull is still not good enough for paint, to many little cracks
and dents.

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.

And yes, Damon, we rolled and cured it inside ! 8-)

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.
