I'm going to use Alwgrip as the topcoat, but hear they do put gelcoat on epoxy, I'm not going to chance it.

My grandpa said, "There was only two colors to paint a boat white or black, only a damn fool would paint it black!"

I’m not sure what color but I'm leaning on white and maybe some tape accents later but that is all down the road a bit. If I'm going to pull a mold off of this hull I need to keep the paint simple.

Next on the list is to shore up and level the boat in the dolly and pull the rest of the deck halves level then I’ll take a day or two off. Can't remember the last day off. Then I'll start faring the hull and the mold for the crossbeam. I want to set up the strong back for the ama jig, I'm going to build a plug/mold for the ama’s and so I can bounce back and forth to break up the sanding when my shoulder gives me grief.

Today I'm going to finish building the new computer, taxes, and file my corp. papers for TMS Composites, what day off, Ha!

Thanks!

Mike
