DIY Blacking of my Narrowboat with Jotun 90 two-pack paint (2 pack) [Ep 29]

Рет қаралды 77,342

2 жыл бұрын

In this weeks video I cruise to the Northwich Dry Dock on the River Weaver so that my narrowboat can ‘come out of the water’ and have her bottom blacked.
This is DIY blacking and I chose to use Jotun 90 2 Pack winter grade without sandblasting as the jet wash at Northwich dry dock is extremely powerful and Jotun 90 is designed to go on services without the need for sandblasting. This video shows how we did it, the reasons why and how it all went - I hope you enjoy.

As a retired painter I roll my eyes at folks trying to paint so I thought here we go this will make me laugh. Tell your old mum she's a guddun she knows how to hold a. Brush and brush out the paint no runs I'll bet good job girls proud of ya! Cheers for now Marty Australia

Always a big job for sure! Here on Canada`s west coast we usually "dry up" during the full or new moon phase that create the highest & lowest tides for chores like a paint job &/or changing zincs. If further repairs are needed then a "ways" must be sought out. Otherwise, one is limited to a handful of hours at best on a "grid". Tie-up lines must be adjusted constantly until keel is on the beams w/slight list against the pier. Barnacles & other sea growth make it a necessary task at least couple times@year, even goes for small boats like skiffs. Love the lifestyle!

Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland Dry Dock Day. I've been in this dry dock before with Robbie Cumming and his narrowboat "Naughty Lass" on 1st May 2021. You three ladies did a brilliant job despite the breaks because of the terrible weather. Fabulous finished job. Bravo! I liked Jacquies technical explanation about the paints. I noticed on the wall behind her, lots of initials had been carved into the stonework. Graffiti or stone masons marks? Superb drone shots of where you were. And all those different boats - some must be museum pieces. Love the boat sign on the wall. A fantasic video, great camera work and lovely commentary. Stay safe please

Great job the boat looks a treat and well worth the hard work. The pleasures of owning a boat and keeping them shipshape. I've seen bargies using a hard standing and rest poles on the Thames near the tide weir. They tie up and wait for the tide to go out, then it's all hand to it for a quick scrape and slap some paint on. For me it was a lift out and the last three years I owned her she was taken out each winter and stored in a shed. Water left in the bilges so's not to dry out, this was in Yerseka, South Holland. Springtime fit out was done in days with the help of a mate, Topside paint, anti-foul and then the horrible varnishing. but a lot easier than just being sheeted over in winter lots less wear and tear. All in all about the same price as a winter mooring and three weeks fit out. Again, well done and great wall plaque. PS Have you tried those plastic funnel thingies' for being caught short.

We also used 2 pak but where we have difficulty getting the ol’ girl out of the water, she had 5 coats of undercoat and 5 of top coat. (All the yards that used to take boats out around here seem to be closing down, they’re as rare as hens teeth!). During the welding we had 3 fires on board (one of them quite serious) but were SO glad we got it all done. We’ve got to look after our old girls haven’t we!

love the music as always. But I just had to stop and say nothing can be as good as you and Jax dancing in your coveralls. Great job all of you, and Jackie's lettering and painting is something she could do professionally.

Haha Jakki was using a brush that had gone rock hard from the other painting and had to cut it with a pair of scissors 😂😂 but yes she did a fab job 🏴‍☠️

9:09 First narrowboat video where "normal" sized rollers are in use! Nice job, ladies. 18:35 Terrific job on signing the wall. It's even more incredible when you consider the awkward brush that Jackie used.

Excellent informative video. Some great people run that dry dock. That big boat that was above the dry dock is the sister of one that I used to work carrying grain from Liverpool to Frodsham. Folks forget the waterways were built to transport stuff.
