Rubbing out the Nibs in Awlgrip

Your right. Boat week-end. Finally installed 2 bilge pumps. Would you believe I had this boat in the water for two years and never had a pump on it?? I'm a smart sailor and I got a guy to rebuild the tranny for$300.00. We are getting there. Jim, ever hear from your friends regarding the Electric?


I asked the reducer question before and didn't get an answer. Are you using the correct reducer? The primer and brush topcoat reducer cans both look exactly the same. It's easy to get them mixed up. I usually don't reduce my Primer. What number is on the reducer can that you are using. I hope it's T0005 or T0031, You can get by with T0031 for your Primer too. Down here we stick to T0031 most of the year. Epoxy-- you can't mix up the primer epoxy with the top coat epoxy. Like Jim just said. Rule out everything before you chew the reps head off. If it is the paint I would make them repaint it for you. Your not a pro, but it cost you your time, sandpaper, cleaning stuff, and the consultant fees you have to pay Jim and I.

 

ya,,,sorry Kapt.,,fergot to tell ya,,,they bought the whole "pulling unit" so all they know is that it cost them $360,000.00 for the motor,,,and everything "connected" to it,,,and they said its jus a small 1 ,,,but they also said,,it already (they've had for 8 months) paid for itself on savings from fuel,maintenance ,ect. and also its WAY faster then their old unit. hehe

 

$360,000.00. Let me sleep on it and I'll get back to you.

 

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyah, bingo, much much better!

 

coolz hehe

 

oh,,,,and which "bingo" was it?,,reducer or wax? hehe

 

Keep ya posted on it as it goes, thanks for keeping me going. I was getten close to caven in.

I know from experience on other problems, maybe not over yet, hehe

Heavy dose of meds tonight.(-;

 

I think it was the rags. I got new lint free rags (the others were not lint free). I did a heavy wet alcohol wipe 2X, then a new tack rag. So really only thing I did different of real significance was the new rags and maybe a little more attentive on the tack wipe (slightly more pressure and being sure the cloth was flat on the surface).

It aint perfect but I can live with it, much better.

This experince just ramped up the details on all fronts, being very carefull at every step.

 

Told ya I had the right reducer.

 

hehe,,,good fer ya,,hehe ,,,you'll be back hehe

 

Thinken more to it just yet?

 

no i think you got it,,,whatever you did this last time,,,DO IT AGAIN hehe

 

Good one.

 

I also presoaked the brush in reducer then shook it out before I started. Hope I can do it again.

 

Do we get our consultant fees now??
