Question.....why 3 coats of epoxy barrier coat?

Chuck?


Have patience, Jim!

I can't answer why Chuck put 3 barrier coats on his boat,
but I can tell you about putting 4 barrier coats on ours.

The recommendation was to put on a coat of straight WEST
epoxy resin, which is kind of a PITA but it sticks to
anything & is highly waterproof itself, then roll on 2 coats
of the barrier coat itself (Interlux's product) which is
also a 2-part mixture. We mixed a can and rolled on 4/5 of a
coat, mixed the next can and finished that plus 2/3 of the
next one... so we mixed a third can and finished the
recommended second coat plus used up what we had... which
oddly enough, was *exactly* the right amount to finish a 3rd
coat.

I figure that we don't have to worry about water penetration
into the laminate of our hull. Unless the guys who wrote
labels for the cans lied, we should be all but bulletproof
below the waterline. I mean, we got titanium & boron!

Gee, all the posters are named Chuck..... A little lonesome there, eh?

Hey, according to my site manager's info sheet, there are now a total
of 7 subscribers to that group.
Another 35 or so and I'll probably eclipse rec boats. :-)

There's no question that you are da man on Pacific-NW-Boating.

Interestingly enough, Google Groups reports 479 "subscribers" to
rec.boats. Lots of lurkers I guess.

If it takes 479 subscribers to get the couple of dozen frequent
participants we see here, you are right- lot's of lurkers.

They are here for my interesting commentary. JimH and JohnH were the
twiddle dee and dwiddle dum show. No one was interested in that twaddle.

Well, I guess you could call me a lurker--I did, in the past, post some.
However, unlike
some of the current regular "participants", such as those who can survey
boats by
looking at a picture, and the prolific "OT" posters, I didn't really have
any new information
to add so kept my mouth shut. Looking at it that way, we would all be
better off
with a few more of the regular posters reverting to lurking.

By lurking occasionally I can keep up on some of the interesting posts, such
as the one starting this thread, "Extreme Makeover".

Enjoyed the article, Chuck. Any plans to post some "before and after"
pictures? I identify with your preference for a pilothouse vs. a flybridge.

I'd post some photos if I knew how or where to go about it. I don't
really maintain a "home page" or a blog, and there's no provision to
post photos to most NG's.
There will be some photos in the next issue of the magazine, and If I
recall correctly you're down in the Portland area where you can find a
*free copy* (no spam) right after March 15. If not, let me know and
I'll mail you one..

We've all been using "alt.binaries.pictures.sports.oceans".

It's just like posting to any other group except that you can also
attach your photo.
