Since most of us aren't supposed to be hanging out at the marina with our friends,
I thought it might be fun to virtually share a boating project.
Anyone (other than Dan) care to guess what I'm up to?

Re: Quarantine can help with boat upgrades
Fell down a rabbit hole but finally found the source of the smell and fuel leak on Benedetto the other night. Glad I found it (fuel filler hose has a crack). The admiral had mixed thoughts. Glad I found the leak, but pissed I worked through our sunset happy hour on the fantail.

Re: Quarantine can help with boat upgrades
Forum member Dan (34Hatt) built this swim platform mold many years ago.
It's cleverly designed to be adaptable to different sizes and shapes of boats.
I acquired it about 15 years ago, and have hung on to it through 3 boats and 2 houses.
It's been a long time coming, but I'm finally putting it to use.

After fairing the mold, all bare areas were sprayed with Duratec primer.
Then all inside corners were eased with clay to give finished edges a nice radius.

Re: Quarantine can help with boat upgrades
Im sure I'll be told I'm wrong by someone here but...
1) Always try to lay up at once as many layers as possible.
I'd run the following schedule after the duratek cured.
2 x 1.5 oz. Mat.
2x 1708 bias
1 x 1.5 oz mat
Core material
Compress until cured or continue with
1 x 1.5 oz mat
2 x 1708 biax with styrene added to last coat
Waxed paper and compress until cured
If the bond is to be very strong it must be a single multiple lamination. Curing between layers is not recommended.Scott
