This week we applied Interlux Epoxy Primekote to the hull. I like this primer.
It does stink to high heaven but provides a very hard sandable surface with just the right amount of body.
We will give it two days and sand and spray a second coat.
After getting some hand's on experience spraying polyester gel-coat, I am now leaning toward Interlux Perfection Hatteras White for the top coat.
The gel-coat is awesome, hard and buffable to a high gloss, but this is a big boat.
We are using gel-coat on our new paddles and are learning the tricks.
The paddle blades we are working on are plugs. We will fabricated the finished blades out of carbon, glass, and vinyl-ester.
It is a new wonderful world but it stinks, even with a great respirator.
This weekend the skiff gets it official christening.
We will be launching it in Elsah, under the River Road overpass.
Pictures of the day will be posted.
