Lady Bug 22

Good evening well here is what i did today getting closer to the final finish. As you can see from the photos the bottom is painted and i have filled the minor imperfections with putty. I will sand this and the grey and make ready for the Easypoxy undercoater whit this is like a talc and the more you put on the smoother the final finish will look. I do 2 coats and it looks great. Still trying to pick a model name for the 22 skiff so far I like NAHANT 22 or PILGRIM 22 any suggestions? This skiff is going to be Jade Green with White Boot and Black Rail. Hope you are enjoying this.

Epoxy Primer

Well have been avoiding posting or just lazy but here arethe photos of the Epoxy Primer I like to use Interlux Interprotect 2000 I brush it on the bottom and at the difficult seams and then i roll the hullsides and the rail. This is a great epoxy primer that gives the surface a shell type coating. With this boat I coated the plywood first with west epoxy so this should work well. Next this morning I painted the bottom Black with Pettit Unepoxy Bottom paint just one coat . Just dont do over the edge we will paint that after we paint the hull ,tape the boot and flip the boat so paint wont run onto bottom or hull you will understand over the next few days. Will be starting another 22 this week she will be going to New York.
