In the boatyard that won't let owners work on their boats????
Bwahahahahahahaaa

Where is that? You can do any work yourself, but you can't bring in outside
contractors, though plenty people do.

RB

Grit??? Grit!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa. Ever hear of rubbng compound Bob?


And there you have it, folks. Mooron SURE knows boats.
Anyone with a copy of casey's This Old Boat may turn to page 45 for the correct
answer, under restoration of gelcoat. 220 wet is usually the best bet, though
I've usually gotten gel back with finer grit. A badly oxidized hull can often
be recovered this way. Worked great on the Cape Dory for instance.
You'd think that Mooron would know this, but then he's known soooo little since
his return.

Mooron...you are SOOOO BEAT!

That's a new model with a new feature.... proving your old dinosaur has no
variable speed.

Poor Bob thinks you can use a grinder as a polisher.... Look again!

Sure, you can use a grinder as a polisher... as long as you either
don't mind the surface looking ground rather than polished, or if
you're too stupid to know the difference. Guess which applies to
Bubbles? Don't forget, he's nuts!

You do realize don't you that that device is an inverter?

I said it could be adapted and I also listed a second unit that works out of
the box.
You lose.

RB
Scott was looking for a way to charge his batteries/run his drill
directly off the boat batteries, without the use of an inverter.
You jumped on BBs' coat tails and made like you knew what you were
talking about. So tell me, if you had to use a 7805 to get 9.6 V
from a 12 V input, what size of resisters you use in the divider
to 'lift' the ground leg and which side of the regulator would you
place them, for extra points explain why. Go ahead, answer that and
prove that you know something about basic electronics.

While you're at it see if you can't to learn to put more than
one point in a reply and thereby shorten the threads to which

Hey Nutsy,

I started out trying to grind out the epoxy tar coating on the bottom of
my boat last summer. After loading up the grit on a 1/2 dozen disc on
about a sguare foot of bottom I called it a day and turned it over to
the Yard to be pealed. A rotary grinder is hopeless.

I've seen (Younger men than me) do racing hulls with long board orbitals
do some beautiful finishes but its just to much work for me.

I'll ask you what size grit you used for the bottom of those boats you
say you've done?

Marty, I like your desperate attempt after I proved you wrong. As I said, radio
shack and others make 12V adapters with a sliding switch to choose various
voltages. They even have different tips to fit. You got busted and now want a
crash course in resisters? Why not just ask for the secret KFC recipe and they
you can "really" be right for once?!

RB

To which job, Thom? We used chemicals (A gell remover I don't recall at the
moment) with faired paint scrapers to remove most of the paint from a few
boats, then finished with 220 wet to bring the gel back. Final step is the 3M
paste and wheel on the grinder at low-moderate speeds. It was a lot of work,
but it really came out nice.
As for the boat bottoms, I'm done doing that. It's a really unhealthy job and
my yard is cutting me a good deal. We used to make the long sanding boards as
well. Backbraking nasty work, especially for someone as tall as me.

RB

Well, he certainly has a history of stealing things... maybe he's reformed.

Very true, I had a B&D Pirana, one of the first 12 volt models made.
it

Hate to pop your balloon, Capt., but B&D did make some
professional-grade
tools a while back. They weren't cheap, and they were top-notch.
It's
only
been within the past decade that B&D went the cheap consumer tool
route.
