Sandblasted the bottom paint today - looks good.
http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/IMG_0010.JPG http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/IMG_0011.JPG Next, a different grit to get the rest of the paint off, then it's sanding and coating with some kind of new vinyl ester paint - supposed to be better than gel coat. WHOO HOO!! Now the hull will be all white - like real boats should be. :) |

WHOO HOO!! Now the hull will be all white - like real boats should be. :) I have heard a lot about that Vinylester, but have never used it. I think it dries softer, but durable anyway, than epoxy based products. It can also be used for layup and bedding. Are you doing it yourself, how will you apply it if so, and let me know, I will come and help if I can;) |

I may take you up on sanding the hull though. |

I guess I never saw an earthen brown cement pad. ;-) Gee - ever stop to think that, well, sand is brown? Hope the project works out for you. It's looking good at this point. Only took me two years to get around to it. :) |

Nope - it's a very fine sand. I forget exactly what it's called, but it's ground sand - almost like soda or talcum actually. It has a high silica content. The guy used a low pressure too - 55 pounds. Special nozzel too - never seen one like it. |

It could be something different. I'll ask again though. As to application, it's sprayed, sanded, sprayed again then finish sand, polish with Finesse-It II - presto, back to normal. |

Um, his name is Pete Legnos, should be listed as LBI,or Legnos Boat... Last I knew they had some third party webad, but they could have a site by now... |
