Mike P. Posted August 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2022 I am in the early stages of building the Dumas 41' Coast Guard rescue boat. It is pretty apparent I will need to use a Fairing compound and would appreciate any suggestions as to what to use. it is my intent to motorize and float the boat, so whatever used must be waterproof and paintable.

Cathead Posted August 28, 2022 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2022 Hey Mike, welcome to MSW! You've asked a good question, but posted it in the Build Log section, where members document the progress of their builds. It's an awkward place to ask a more general method question like this. I'd suggest going to the Framing and Planking section of MSW, where you can (a) have a better chance at an answer, and (b) do some quick searches for content related to your question, since fairing and sealing hulls has been discussed in the past.
