Meet Therese C.
She had a layer of glass on the tops that had not bonded to the wood.
I found that AFTER painstakingly removing the multiple layers of old peeling paint.
pretty bad.
So I ended up ripping all the glass off, that's where it stands in the pics.
A quick penetrating coat of poly
After a lot of filling holes/slots/missing wood, and of course sanding
3 gal of short strand
100 pieces of sandpaper later
Sealed!
Then glass and paint, I need to take some more pics
She completed her sea trials after I worked on the cooling system.
Stay tuned, she's gonna be beautiful.
When it rains?
I sand and sand and polish ...........
Several coats of paint,
Stripper, wire wheel and polish....
She's coming along slowly, I need warm/dry to continue with the glass on the sides.
Cheers,
LCjeff
