Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Pro tip.
Throw away all clothing with epoxy on. I had a pair of underwear with a spot of epoxy about the size of a nickel. Well, one evening my left hip was hurtin and I just happened to put the heating pad on that hip on the epoxy spot. I dozed off and woke up with a terrible pain and proceeded to watch a blister grow to the size of a 50 cent piece over a 30 minute period.
So, I post cured my undershorts. But, you know, it can happen to anyone because if you have a spot of epoxy and the sun hits it hard; it'll do the same, not to mention the skin contact to that spot is repeated as well.
Anyhow, throw out clothes that get epoxy on them. Now, I'm pretty religious. A crusty spot and the thing becomes a shop rag.
Sounds to me the admiral wants her ship launched before another freezeup. Can it happen?

Not gonna happen this year Fallguy. I still have a shitload of stuff to do. We'll see how far along I get this year. I want to get the main cabin top on and the entire outside faired and ready for paint. We'll see.
Here's a teaser of what happened today in the boat shed.

Nice. The Admiral knows epoxy---love the paint stir attachment/drill trick for stirring. After watching I wanted to take some ibuprofen in sympathy.

Hey Dougster
Yeah, Lori's killing it. Keeps me hoppin'!! Think I took about a half dozen Tylenol Extra Strength. I don't remember much when I woke up 36 hrs later. Just kidding.
Today I was out cutting more holes in my hull. This time for an air inlet to a bilge blower. Right deadnuts in the transom!

The work you're doing... hard to keep those big ones moving forward without some help now and again. Hopefully Jeff will agree.Knottybuoyz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 3:13 pm Today I was out cutting more holes in my hull. This time for an air inlet to a bilge blower. Right deadnuts in the transom!

Be sure to leave a comment there. It helps a lot. Our little channel has grown quite a bit in the last year and we just passed 600 subscribers. Watch time is still lagging so sit back and relax and watch me suffer endless sanding, glassing, fairing etc.
Cheers
