    @#$%@#$% vermin

    Re: @#$%@#$% vermin I know this is a tiny image but it is a mouse that stopped a 4.7L Toyota from running right. I keep loaded mouse traps in my 3/4 ton chev all winter and usually catch a few a week. My only advice to you is this...... when you forget the traps are set and make a sharp...

    Introduction and possible star craft purchase.

    Re: Introduction and possible star craft purchase. That hull has had the flotation removed! If it takes on water - it is going to sink like a stone. The Starcraft have large flotation foam chunks under every seat and there is sheet metal that protects the flotation. Here is a picture of my...

    My 1968 Glastron GT160 rebuild......

    Re: My 1968 Glastron GT160 rebuild...... these are shots of the strings in my friends boat. I was not impressed by the way the fiberglass was not wetted out, the coverage was not 100% and appeared to be a "rush" job on the mas production line. I was surprised and after seeing your photos my...

    Re: Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS It may be a glasser but my aluminum boat skills took over :eek: :D Transom is in and rock solid....... deck is in but needs tabs add in some aluminum bracing and knee braces. The knee braces are angled but the picture makes them look straight.

    Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS

    Re: Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS I will not mess arond with the epoxy mix of 2:1 since I actually enjoy the longer working time. The "itch" is a long standing joke between the aluminum boat owners and the fiberglass boat owners who do re-builds ;) Note to self......... remember even one drop of...

    Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS

    Re: Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS Progress - The transom wood is in (not finished but in) and used some peanut butter to fill many of the excess holes in the transom. Look at the fill marks and you will see a center line that I figured out today. A few realizations about working on a...

    Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS

    Re: Sidewinder (Cobra) 16 SS Picked up 1/1/2 gallons of epoxy and a roll of 3" tape today from Progressive Epoxy Polymers in NH today. It was a great rainy day for a road trip and I could not argue with the great price! (Thank you Paul from epoxyusa!!)

    My swirl Painting experiment

    I was given a bolt action shotgun that had a stock that was destroyed. The stock was not only in pieces but missing some substantial amount of wood. I filled the missing areas, used epoxy and even some fiberglass chopped strand mat and re-assembled this ugly beast. Trust me it is strong now...
