My Ryobi tools are so good I tossed out my
old AC powered drills, sold two homeowner grade
saws,

Ryobi is junk. I got a drill flashlight kit and it died fast. The premium for a
better Makita is tiny. My oldest Makita is OLD and works like new. My new one
is faster and goes forever. I almost never need the second battery. Sorry, I've
looked the Ryobis at Home Depot. Junk for people who need to save a few bucks
and pretend it's still money well spent.
There's just no reason to buy less than a very good tool. Sooner or later it
will pay you back.

Bob.... I should take this time to point out that actually using the tools
might effect their performance over a period of time.

Unless of course you continue to use a grinder to buff your hull....
Bwahahahahahahahahaaaa!!

Professional Grade Black & Decker.... Ha Ha Ha Ha.... I'm weak from

My tools are used on cars (3), boats (3) and around the home as well. Last
season I did more work on various boats than you probably ever did. I'm sure
you couldn't even install a thru-hull. I've done them on 6 different boats. Two
seasons ago I expertly stripped off the paint from a CD 22 and restored the
original gell...did the same on a Typhoon. Gee, Mooron...tell us what grit of
paper to use on such a hull with moderate oxidation and some discoloring.
I bet you can't even tell us that.

You use your drill on your car?????? Good Grief! Please explain in detail
the type of "work" you're doing!

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

Wo-o-o-o-o-o..... a thru-hull..... now that's challenging. Did you
manufacture the contoured backing plates as well??
Bwhahahahahaaaa!!

Did you peel the gel coat with a planer? Now when you reapplied the gel
coat..{ Hang on I'm having trouble typing due to the tears of laughter]...
how did you restore "the original gel"do it so it would apply with a gloss
finish? This should be good!

Grit??? Grit!!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaaaa. Ever hear of rubbng compound Bob?
Try that with your "Professional Grade Grinder" next time you "buff" a
hull!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!

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

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!

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?

Ole Thom

I'll ask you what size grit you used for the bottom of those boats you

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.

Rather it's inbreeding.

Truly Pathetic effort Bob.... you've lost this so badly is plum pitiful. Yet

back for more. It must be the superior genetics!!! Bwahahahahahahahaaaa!
