Finishing
Sand the tub and sponsons, but be sure to
leave the overhangs.
Fill any holes or imperfections with wood
filler.
Sand everything with 150.
Seal the tub and sponsons with epoxy
finishing resin or West Systems epoxy.
Be sure that all wood is sealed.
Scrape off as much epoxy as you can. It will
make sanding easier.
Also seal the other side of the radio box
top.
When cured, sand with 150 and recoat with
epoxy. This coat will use far less resin than
the first.
When this cures, wet sand the bottom of
everything with 220.
If you are painting sand the entire boat with
220. Now is the time for primer. Wet sand
the primer with 400, and use spot putty to
fill any imperfections. Wet sand with 400
and lay on a heavy coat of primer. Wet
sand with 600-800 and paint.
Use fuel proof paint or fuel proof clear.
Assemble the boom tubes with the tub and
sponsons.
Make the boom tubes flush with the outside
end on the brass sleeves in the sponsons.
