Saturating epoxy


Cheap 'C" grade ply with faults hidden inside hull

Hi guys,

Got the inside coated with that tight weave rubbish today. Have usedup most of it thank goodness. I hate the bloody stuff! Its not looking very pretty at the moment but some serious sanding later in the week will fix that


Bow re-inforcing fillet



also got the rudder mounting post in. Sorry about the quality of the picces, I am a IT/photography idiot.


Just for a giggle, here is my redneck back yard. and my old red Julio truck (we call em a ute). she's got 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door bit like that Alan jackson song.

Looking good Mick! I'd love to have a backyard and work area like that!

How do you keep the clothspins from sticking to the epoxy?

Mick
Which do you live at a Marina or a Boat Yard, looking at the picture it sure looks like someplace on the water that does a lot of work on boats.
Sorry , Mate , I had to ask that.... your place looks like mine , boats everywhere.....

Hey Mick, my daughter says she'd like to see some more photos with your dogs (they were in the background on one shot)!

Hi Scott, You are too kind mate. My workmanship leaves a fair bit to be desired I think.

I just take them off before it goes hard.

Hi Chuck,

Neither mate. I live on an acre that is slowly being filled with my old cars and boats. My lovely wife lets me hang onto all my old stuff because you never know, "I might need it one day"

Scott,

This probably isn't the right place for it but just for your little girl, Here are a couple of piccies of my very spoilt pan lickers.

Big brown one is a Rottweiler/Bull Mastiff cross called Roscoe. He is an old dog, half crippled with arthritus and is my best mate. He will not leave my side.

Little white & grey one is "Puku" an Italian Greyhound who can run like the wind and is the savage one of the pack. She can run down a hare after giving it a 300 yard start.

Solid little black one "Nuggett' is an Australian Smithfield Cattledog. A working dog that I inherited from my daughter when she grew up and moved away.

All three are spoilt rotten.

Thanks Mick! You made my daughter's day!

The things we do for kids...we'll allow little off topic. After all, it's all about family.

Case in Point: JEM Watercraft...the "J" and "E" are for my kids' names Josh and Emily.

"M" is for Mommy or Matt....depends on if I'm mad at my wife at the time.

Actually her name starts with an "S" so the letters didn't work out into a good name.

I was wondering what "JEM" stood for. That's nice! Thanks for allowing Mick's doggie pics. They made my daughter VERY happy!
