Re: Deck coating / Turned complete restore

Sooo, what do you need us for? Great job. Very nice work on the transom. I can testify, as you go along you will get more comfortable with the resin. Thanks to Wood, I found it easier as I went along. Looking Good, man..

Did you use the bubble buster roller? All in all I'd say for someone that I KNOW had to be a bucket full of nerves that's a pretty good lay up. It WILL get easier and better!;)

Yes I did but I mixed at 1.5% and it started to set up some of it is reflections but there is some air bubbles.I guess I grind them out and put patches over them? That was a big piece with a lot of contours and I have to do it again oh boy

Yep large areas are a challenge. You learned a lot from the first one and it will pay off on the second. Dremel the bubbles and patch em and move on. I'm bettin' layer two will be darn near perfection!!!:D

Re: Deck coating / Turned complete restore

I agree with your assessment. I'd do the same. A little PB bedding and then CSM or 1708 to encapsulate them in place.

If they are not too deep, you can cut a few patch pieces of CSM and save some resin...although PB will work, too...
