Thanks for taking the time to describe each step in detail, especially what it looks like when you're not doing it right (like if the paint gun is too close or far). Incredibly helpful for people starting out.

@jonnooney7102 11 ай бұрын

Very few customers have a realistic idea of the labor hours it takes to do a project like this. They usually have a dollar figure in their head that is about one fourth of reality

You always say you’re not that good at glass work or painting, but the projects always turn out amazing to me. Great job and really interesting video series.

@iain1969 11 ай бұрын

It's all coming together. The KZfaq comment keyboard warriors (many of whom I'll guess have never restored a boat but consider themselves 'experts') don't understand that a boat is a labour of love and it's as much about the pride you feel in the work you've done and the outcome achieved.

@kenfourey-jones3121 11 ай бұрын

A thorough presentation of what is included in doing a complete renovation of a fibre glass hull. Superb detail, yes, that is exactly what is required to bring the finish back to original. However, just two points, l would avoid taking the grinding back to the glass as this is porous and would require a lot of building up of filler, which leads me on to my second point - the cost of the products used in this renovation would far exceeded the value of the boat!! But heck, it’s not about values, it’s about love boating and showing what can be achieved with the right products and a hell of a lot of time. What l hate about doing a job like this is the amount of nasty dust it produces. Thumbs up buddy

@SparrowMoonhaze 11 ай бұрын

To your second point, that’s what all these commenters that say just junk the boat don’t understand. It’s not a what you SHOULD do tutorial, it’s a what you COULD do. And they’re covering all the bases here, so if you have one of these things to do to your boat, you can come here and see how to do it. Though mistakes have been made… it’s still very diy friendly.

@Beachnative42 11 ай бұрын

What's this? Not grind back to the glass? Not a good idea, always grind to the glass. That's how you repair fiberglass and get a good structurally strong bond especially where the inside of the boat is a structural member of whole boat. Structural parts of the boat need to be done correctly, in my book there are no exceptions for this, NONE!

@Beachnative42 11 ай бұрын

Hats off to a great job of getting it done. As far as costs for custom boat, go buy a newer boat in better shape then customize it. You might have hidden hack jobs under the glass, like strutural issues caused by not grinding to the glass and just glassing over gelcoat. I'm a hands on guy and would rather make sure it's done right then rely on faith of "hey it looks good so it's gotta be good" mentality. Sure you might be able to do it cheaper but this was a restore to custom job and some people will never get it.

@hnt4fsh 11 ай бұрын

Try not stirring your filler when you mix it. TKe application tool and scrape and Ford. Stirring causes at bubbles to get whipped in. It will see you a lot of sanding n filing

@Whalermansteve84 11 ай бұрын

I would just use a high build primer .. I also recommend the 3m accuspray gun. Works wonders and takes seconds to clean the tips off. The tips are cheap enough to where you can just throw them away , but typically you get 3 to 4 uses out of them , the accuspray gun is so light it cuts down on fatigue on the wrist ..

@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi 4 ай бұрын

If you cloud up your plastic regulator lens with acetone. You can fix it with more acetone. You put the acetone in a pop or energy drink can and make a little spout for it. Then, using a small torch on the can, you heat up the acetone to vapor and fog it under the plastic allowing the vapor to rise in front of it, and the lens looks brand new. The same method can be used on plastic headlight lenses. But with those, you have to immediately cover them with uv protector since they'll be exposed to direct sunlight a lot. There's a few videos on here of how to do it.

@craigtpat 11 ай бұрын

18:13 you can try painting the regulator dial with clear nail polish or something similar. It may not work if the acetone penetrated.

Can you estimate how much the paint and fiberglass materials cost on this boat not including labor?

@kylewalker7072 2 ай бұрын

No need to add the wax to your fairing compound. You're just creating another round of sanding for yourself. If you insist on having the resin completely cure between applications you can spray it with PVA

Can you pull a vacuum on the filler before usage? Could this eliminate air bubbles? 🤔

@SparrowMoonhaze 11 ай бұрын

Unfortunately not. The voids are from the putty sticking to itself and sticking to the spreader as it slides over the surface. Imagine it as the ridges you see when you’re making a pb&j sandwich.

I'll stick to an aluminum welded boat. So much less work, no putties, fillers, plastics,. No paint is the way to go. And when you get dents and scrapes and scratches in it. It ain't nothing but a merit badge, of heavy use, fishing hard! And Economically.
