    All done for tonight. There isn't much I can do for the trim. We don't have any flat/satin paint, and I wouldn't know how to spray it anyway. So I touched it up with a bit of single stage. At least it's not bare metal. I was also thinking of hooking a charger up to the jump start points...

    Yeah, just bare speaker wire and like 2 wraps of not even electrical tape over the live amp wires. Just asking for an electrical fire.

    Never heard of this boat manufacturer. 2013 Cadillac ATS. Weird, don't know how it floats. Anyway, this is my coworker's car. She got locked out 2 weeks ago, and we did some damage trying to get in. I have a panel clip tool with a wedge end, which I hammered through the door seal (thought I...

    The tiny bit of bulkhead I can see is dry, but we're not getting into the inside. Forgot to mention, the new owner bought it this way and didn't know about it until the gel started chipping off.

    Sorry for the lack of updates, but there isn't much interesting happening right now. I'm almost finished with a big Sea Ray, but it's just routine body and paint work. Probably the most interesting thing is the '90 something Tidecraft the guy nex to me is doing a transom job on. We'll be...

    marine formula debond

    A heat gun will loosen up that 5200. It needs to get pretty hit, and still leaves a mess to be cleaned up with acetone, but it works.

    Countertop came in today. I had to trim it a bit, and minorly screwed up because I didn't realise these two little blocks on the back were supposed to come off. Had to clamp and glue it on the bases. It's too cold to glue it outside, and I don't have space to put it on saw horses inside. Not...

    I was standing there while the boss was on the phone with the guy. He was in a head on collision while towing this. For that kind of accident, it was surprisingly light damage. Anyway, here it is.

    Replacing a transom on a 1989 Starcraft Islander.

    I just picked up one of these over the weekend. Haven't used it yet, but it would help with keeping the holes straight. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Milescraft-Portable-drill-press-Drill-Guide/1000487159

    First pic lower right is where I started. Lower left if where the boss did a bit and told me I was going too slow. I got a bit better after that. I have sealer on it now, will spray truck bed coating in a few minutes.
