ccoyle Posted March 8, 2021 Author #152 Posted March 8, 2021 Well, Mr. Pitt and I are the same age, both of us being in our silver-back years, so to speak. He, of course, has movie-star good looks because, well, he's a movie star, obviously. As for me, no mothers have shrieked upon seeing my visage and hurried away in the opposite direction while covering their child's eyes, so I'll content myself with that. 😎 Canute, FriedClams, GuntherMT and 13 others 1 15 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

ccoyle Posted March 8, 2021 Author #153 Posted March 8, 2021 Okay, I just finished applying epoxy coat #3. Yes, I know that this picture of the third coat of epoxy looks exactly like the picture of the second coat of epoxy (Is it indeed a new picture? Or is he just saying it's a new picture? You can never be certain, can you? 😋 ). The difference is that this coat should be substantially smoother once it dries. Hopefully. After this coat dries, I will need to touch up a few low spots in the seams and some wire holes that didn't quite magically fill in as the instructions suggested they would. Then it's on to finishing the interior. popeye the sailor, Egilman, Blackreed and 20 others 22 1 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

ccoyle Posted April 10, 2021 Author #156 Posted April 10, 2021 Yikes! I can't believe it has been over a month since I updated this thread! Of course, COVID and its aftermath ate up three of those weeks, so there's that. Anyways, I have an announcement: I ... I think I'm ready to paint. 😲 Yes, I finally got all the sanding done, inside and out. Now, it would be sweet if I actually had the paint on hand, but I don't, so the next step is to order paint, primer, and varnish. Not being too pleased with my interior finish work, I'm pretty well set on painting the interior. My plan is to go with either a dark green or dark blue exterior and a light gray interior (I intend to fish from my canoe, so I think gray will cut down on the glare); the rails and decks will get varnished. And that's it for now. Edwardkenway, Baker, Landlubber Mike and 11 others 14 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

ccoyle Posted April 11, 2021 Author #157 Posted April 11, 2021 I don't know diddly about marine paints and varnishes, so I went with Interlux Brightside, the one-part polyurethane topcoat recommended by CLC, Interlux Pre-Kote build-up primer, and Interlux Schooner varnish. I shopped around and found a place in Florida that sells these for a bit less than CLC and ordered today. I had my daughter look at the color options, and she happened to pick the exact two colors I was thinking about, so that was nice. I then trawled the Internet looking for boats wearing that brand and those colors, and decided I liked the blue better, thus the canoe will wear Sapphire Blue on the outside, contrasted with Seattle Gray, a nice light gray, on the inside. Here's a pic of a boat being done in Sapphire Blue. And here's one that shows kinda the look I'm going for, albeit in a different brand of paint.

The new shipment of paint was supposed to be picked up by UPS on the 21st for delivery by the 23rd. Friday evening came and went -- still no paint. UPS tracking number turns up no info. I called the company on Saturday, but the customer service guy was out until Monday. Monday morning I contacted him by email and was assured that he would get hold of the warehouse manager and figure out where my paint was. Then nothing. This morning I emailed again, asking for a status update. <crickets> So this afternoon I sent yet another email -- an ultimatum this time: expedite my order or refund my money.
