Re: Tips in sanding polyester resin/ paper gumming up
Thanks for all the replys. TSP seems to have done the trick. Did some sanding yesterday with a 7" pad on a mini-grinder until the pad started to come apart. Couldn't stand up to the RPMs. Kept going with a 3000 RPM sander/polisher with the same pad and 24 grit. No question the polyester is cure...

Re: Tips in sanding polyester resin/ paper gumming up
It has to be cured completely, I put it on last summer. it's the wax that's gumming me up. The layer of wax that comes to the surface to allow the resin to cure. There has to be a better sanding technique than I am using. I wonder if going over it with a wire wheel on my drill first might take the w...

Thanks Tim, What about prop size? but I'd guess this would be a topic for discussion. What would be a good three bladed prop or how well does the two bladed prop work. I suspect there would be considerable prop walk as there was with the two bladed prop on my Ericson 29.

Otherwise the rudder, through hulls, sails and rigging all appe...
