This is a trailer for my 1961 Larson. In this video, I start the long and annoying process of removing all the rust and paint. I sanded down the sides before making this video (hence the white paint.) However, I didn't sand down enough to get rid of the original primer and rust... hence why I had to sand down all the initial work I did.
Also, shout out to Bug rich from the Ohio Fish Rescue for lending me his sandblaster! / ohiofishrescue-com
In addition, Haught Wheels Transportation and Automotive did the welding for my trailer. They’re located in Ravenna Ohio and the phone number to reach them is 234-380-2704

I thought sanding galvanized metal was dangerous and so a respirator is needed to avoid breathing in zink dust - am not sure of this but am using one to be on the safe side for my trailer restoration - hoping i am wrong, please be careful

Yes, it is. I didn’t have one but should have used one.

Just started following you. This is the third video I have seen. Looks cool. Is their a way for us to see how much time is passing in time lapse? I know it looks silly but wearing a mask will help you both 🙏🙈. Really enjoying the videos

I know I need a mask! I’ve since started using one. & about 15 hours in total and 30 off camera. This took way too long.

Good work there. I do hope you were wearing breathing apparatus as the yellow undercoat is zinc chromate and is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Has been banned in a lot of countries due to this.

Are you gonna paint it too?

@Backyardboats 2 жыл бұрын

Yes of course haha, this is why it’s just a part 1. I’m gonna get the rest of the metal entirely bare before I prime it then I’m painting it a cherry red to match the boat :)
