[quote=charlescarlis]Got more coming. Kind of in a hurry to get it seaworthy before labor day, so im just epoxy priming the patches for now. Big, white slanted stripes. Man, once sprayed you can sure see where you need to go back and fill/sand, etc. That Interlux epoxy primer is THICK out of the can! Once reduced, it sprayed really nicely though.
The guy i got the boat from "repaired" the starboard front wing. I went to sand it flush, etc. before priming it and boy, was i disappointed. It was an 8x11ish rectangular patch with what appeared to be a rather thick layer of gel coat. The problem was all the silicone caulk around the perimeter of the patch... SO, i had to dig all that out, recess back a bit and then fill the perimeter with chopped carbon/epoxy/silica. Worked great, but i don't know what the guy was thinking using silicone. Sometime at the end of summer, ill strip the whole boat and do a proper paint job. Right now, its time to get it on the water and see what else needs to be done.[/quote]
