Floored

The cabin floor has gone in. I did not go with dual bunks and decided I wanted a one piece, seamless cabin floor, I also decided to try out my new HVLP gun and pre prime the interior, which was a good thing, as I am not ready to paint my exterior with it, it would seem that I have a little learning to do before I tackle that. FYI: I am using Interlux Primekote and will use Interlux perfection as my finish cote. Read the MSDS sheets as this stuff is pretty nasty when sprayed.


I also fiberglassed the cockpit floor and used peel ply for the first time, take my advice, go with peel ply, it left a completely smooth beautiful surface, (I also figured I will leave it on for awhile, as it makes a really good drop cloth and will protect the surface). As usual I am behind on posting, and can say that now that the cabin top is done, it was worth the time I spent priming, and sanding is allot easier while the top is off.

 Let me add this, prep everything you can before bonding the top sides, tape 6mil plastic sheeting to the floor, wrapping up the sides, and you are ready to bond the deck and cabin top, with little care if you have any epoxy drips or runs.
