Restoration - The Rudder
To begin the restoration we wanted to do a few tests to make sure
everything would turn out to our expectations. We started with the
rudder, a small part of the boat that we could, sand, epoxy, primer
and finish with Awlgrp.
This test would cover the complete process of what we were about
to do with the hull.
As you can see in the photos below there were a few cracks we had
to take care of. After sanding with 80 grip paper, filling with
Awlfair and the first coat of primer things are really starting
to look good.
CAUTION! Always wear a respirator when sanding
or painting.
Before
& After Shots
We do have to admit the best part of this project is waiting for
the UPS guy to show up around 2 pm and drop off the new toys. Today
we received the new tiler. It's like Christmas!
