Re: '78 Ebko Lebaron - Therapy

Well...had a little more time tonight than last night...got a whole hour and a half or so in...I know...not much...but as I always say...it gets me to the end a little sooner :)

so tonight I concentrated on the left side towards the transom...as you look at the pics...I also worked on the 2 humps I have in the top part of the keel...got one almost completely gone...

see the little whitish spots? bubbles in my fairing I think...do I need to worry about filling these? I would think the gel will take care of these...thoughts?

Trooper , no matter what you are having to do, I bet it wasn't that straight ever before. Keep going and you will be the envy of the lake.

This unit is walking a fine line.I will say yes.That machine is tough as nails and will pretty much sew anything but thick leather.It must be secure enough in it's masculinity to wear pink. :D

Re: '78 Ebko Lebaron - Therapy

Craigweaver, if that pink thread injector does as good a job as the glass work you have been doing then it's definitely a BIG YES.:D

Glad to see you keeping up your pace. Makes it harder to get time in after work with the sun going down sooner. Your work is looking great as always. Have a good weekend.

Twas the night before Friday...

No sanding...just some playing with markers...and washing with acetone..trying not to remove the marker...fun...mixed my last 100ML of resin into fairing compound...spread it out...on both the cap and the hull...which means I get to sand tomorrow! Yay!!!!

Oh and I picked up a cheater valve with a pressure dial..read somewhere on here I need one for the paint gun when it comes time to start spraying....sooner than later I hope!

Happy Friday all!
