[QUOTE="the fisherman guy, post: 383086, member: 13667"] Once the bottom had been sanded lightly with 220 grit paper, I began applying the top coat. It dries to the touch quite quickly, and with the full gallon I was able to apply 5 coats in about 2 hours. I am impressed with how it turned out in OD Green. [img]https://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m568/thefishermanguy/FullSizeRender%2017_zpsatxepm1h.jpg[/img] I used regular masking tape to tape it off, and it didn't bleed. Before the top coat was fully cured, I removed the tape. I was worried it would never come off if I left it on for the curing time. Edges look good. [img]https://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m568/thefishermanguy/FullSizeRender%2016_zpsminp4u8j.jpg[/img] Next up is to provide some additional reinforcement to the bow hook with aluminum plate. Then, flip the boat over and begin the decking. Boat has to be ready for May 8 - good thing I am unemployed! Lots of time to get this project done, and ready for the river. Stay tuned for more updates on progress. [/QUOTE]
