Re: Timid but determined Glasstream restoration
Hello folks,
Well, I had a good day on the boat. Well, most of it.
I got out all the tools and headed for the boat. Got set up and went to work. Got all the last minute trimming completed.
You know all those little chunks that you never got around to removing. Broke out the new belt sander and headed down the hull one pass one belt. Hum, not what I was expecting. I did have more then one belt but went back to the grinder anyways. In one of the chimes there was a chunk of glass that was pretty heavy, so, I got out the good old toe kick saw.
Do you remember me saying how much I like that thing. It will remove anything in a hurry. Up to and including the bottom of the boat.
I now have a new drain hole in the center of the boat, and I do mean middle.
Thats what I get for not paying attention.
this is the boat with all the grinding completed and wiped with acetone.
I had planned on bedding the transom today but I decided to give it another coat of resin after I ground out a couple bubbles. I'm still waiting for it to dry.
Well, tomorrow I will get the transom bedded in and try to do a final fit of the main stringers.
On another note. I did get the foot board to my new bed finished. tell me what you think.
Have a good evening all.
Bob
