It's good to be in the water.
I store on the public landing in Rockport Harbor. This year I painted the topsides (6 years since last time) as well as my usual stuff. My launch went without a hitch, tools and brushes are put away (far away!). It will be good to disappear into the Penobscot Bay today for a well earned escape. http://www.mainecoastguide.com/forum/in ... ile&id=194

Hi AJ, I used my secret recipe;
a 50 50 mix of Easypoxy gloss and semi gloss. The reason I tried it on the last coat (6 years ago) was because I wanted to dull the gloss just a bit. This seemed like an easy solution.
But I realize, how would I know if I don't have a sample of each to compare? Mute point though, I need 2 quarts to do the job.
My old hull is not as fair as many glass hulls to start with. And to compound that, I added a bit of unfairness when I removed the failed awlgrip a few years back.
Next time, I will do some serious fairing (that looks like alot of work though), but, I said that last time.

You could certainly fool me! The hull on Christmas looks silky smooth in that photo. Congrats again on a job well done.Tom Young wrote:My old hull is not as fair as many glass hulls to start with. And to compound that, I added a bit of unfairness when I removed the failed awlgrip a few years back.
