Re: Well I did it now! 67 Islander Rebuild
Thanks heyyou, that is what I was thinking as well. But could not remember if I read it here or someone was telling that about welding. I think that I am going to wind up doing rivets for the patches, I was not so worried about just the one patch but now it is going to have to be several or a rather large one.
As I said on here not long ago the wife bought some paint for the boat, colors of blue yellow and white. White is going to be the top or cap of the boat, but now she is not so much digging the blue and yellow. I have been messing with the pics on photobucket and coloring the pic, finally ditched the blue and made one with black. I think that she likes it a lot or at least that is what she said. Here it is as best as I could do with what I had to work with.
After messing with photobucket I decided to move the boat and just see what I could do about taking it off the trailer. I was not ready to take it off but wanted to see how big of a PITA it was going to be alone. Look what happened when I gave it a gentle push, and I do mean gentle. I don't think I pushed hard enough that I would have moved Jack if I had been pushing on him.
This afternoon I decided it time for a second coat of epoxy on the one side of the transom wood and also a first coat on the window support.
Well mind you it was close to 90 out there today and I was not thinking. I mixed up a batch that would have been big enough to do both pieces of wood. Well I think that I mixed to much for the temp it was outside as it started to kick like crazy. I looked into the pot I had in my hand and it was freaking smoking, almost panic'd for a min. Well here is a big lump of stuff that setup like I had no idea that it could do that way.
