Did some final sanding this afternoon and then rolled on the final filler coat of Interlux Primekote 404/414. Then I took one of those edging paint pads and smoothed it out. Should be pretty nice final coat, but if I took off too much using the pad then I can always put on a fourth coat.
Dinner guests tomorrow night so I'll let this cure well into the weekend at this point. That should make for very easy sanding using only 400 grit. The idea is that the surface looks like plastic before I start painting.
By the way, if you are a local Seattle area person and want to use the same Interlux Primekote 404/414 and reducer (I bought mine from West Marine for $32 because they make you buy a QUART when I only need less than a 1/2 pint! GRRRR!), I've got plenty left (see pic below). I've used about 1/3 of the kit or less and only about 5% of the reducer. Since I'm now into this filler epoxy primer for about $80 I'd LOVE to sell the rest to someone who would also like to use it. It'll last for some time and if I don't sell it I'll probably use a bit more on my Star 45 I hope to start in the next months, but will probably still have enough left over for at least a T37 and maybe two. Please contact me and we can talk. I'd be happy to sell the rest of both the kit and the reducer for $40 OBO, or a T37 worth for about $25 obo. It's a shame that these companies don't do more to cater to the small project hobbyists like us. WEST Systems epoxy needs to do the same! Grrr...
This stuff will just sit on my shelf and go to waste so please contact me and let's use it up! It's better for both of use to spread the costs and it's better for the planet.
I also have some 1.4 oz. fiberglass that I can sell. Certainly enough for several T37's and still have enough left over for my future Star 45.
Next post by the end of the weekend if all goes well.
Happy sailing!
