[QUOTE="ober51, post: 84940, member: 1354"] I have about 90% of the prepping done. I have just a bit more sanding on some of the outside hull supports and transom. I will then wipe this puppy down with acetone and a tack cloth, letting it air dry. After which, I will apply the Steel Flex that came today (took a week, perfect timing). I also ripped off the transom (dad helped) and cut out a new one. This one is made from two pieces of oak, glued together, clamped down overnight. Tomorrow I will Spar Varnish, 3 coats (rubbing very fine steel wool in between coats 2 and three). I will also have to cut out the inside transom portion (inside the boat) and pick up 4 more stainless steel nuts and bolts to properly secure the transom. Home Depot had Marine 3M 5200 for 10 bucks...and when I got home, realized it was effective until 10/07! Back there tomorrow to complain a bit. I will post some pictures tomorrow - I forgot the camera, and I was working from 7am to 8pm today on this boat (it's become an obsession). [/QUOTE]
