Timothy Wood Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share #92 Posted May 7, 2013 I have a question to those who have used a sanding sealer. Would it be a good idea to apply a second coat of sanding sealer after my final sanding of the hull? :mellow: Cheers, Tim Quote Tim Current Build: Future Build: BlueJacket - USS Kidd (Fletcher Class Destroyer) Solid Hull BlueJacket - U.S.S.

Timothy Wood Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share #93 Posted May 19, 2013 Greetings, Just finished the second of sanding sealer on the PT hull, I hope to get a coat of primer on it by the weekend. In the mean time I have been working on the Chart house and day cabin. I used my bench mounted belt sander to work them down to the correct height, as you can see by the pencil mark on the chart house I have a little more work to do!

Timothy Wood Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share #94 Posted May 22, 2013 Greetings, As you can see, I didn't get the hull painted. It seems like you have been hearing the same old story, actually the weather hasn't been good for spray painting on my screened in porch. There has been too much wind blowing, and I really need a calm day to use the air brush. So, I figured I would go on to the next step. In my earlier post I was working the chart house and cockpit to the correct height, once that was completed I needed to make sure the chart house conformed to the camber of the hull. I accomplished this by placing a piece of sandpaper on the deck and slowly worked it back and forth until it had a snug fit to the hull. A word of warning, I probably wont be able to paint the hull this weekend, my daughter is getting married on Saturday and the Admiral has given me my marching orders...

popeye the sailor Posted May 23, 2013 Share #102 Posted May 23, 2013 I haven't built one of their kits either.......I do however, have an old kit of the PT-10, put out by marine Models back in the forties. Haven't done too much with solid hull.........I'm sure the techniques you've gone by, will be a good reference source. I love PT boats as well...it will be cool to watch yours grow.
