This is the same boat in the earlier picture, and that paint job in all cases ;-) was done about 10 years ago.

That's my point, that is, that AwlGrip may be scary, but it sure is good stuff. The rudder case, which is of wood, had begun to 'check' and so Handsome Husband Jay wanted to repaint it. Not having a compressor and gun thanks to Miz Katrina, HHJ decided to go the brushing route, so he added the prescribed amount of brushing additive to the paint mix. Stuff went on so smoothly it looks sprayed and you wouldn't know it was brushed (well there are a couple sags, but that's not the paint's fault.) No rolling and tipping necessary, just brush it on with a good brush.


Re: posting pictures: At the 'reply' screen, fourth icon from the left is the 'image' icon. Click on it, and there will be a dragdown menu with four 'floating' options. Click on the one of interest, and it will then ask you for the link to your image. Apparently there's not an option to upload images (or video) directly, but you can host your image at Flickr or Photobucket, etc. (I like Flickr, it's a Yahoo product so no extra signup.) and then use the aforementioned menu to link to your hosted image. The icon to the right of the 'image' icon, or the fifth from the left, is the 'video' icon and it works in the same way: a dialogue window pops up, and you insert the link to your video wherever it might be hosted. Saves space here on catsailor.com's servers to link to other hosts rather than receiving uploaded images/video.
