I can't help it. Once you get started on something like this you just can't stop! I've still got a LONG ways to go though. Those 10,000 rivets in the carpet trim are gonna be a mother trucker to drill out  Trox said he just sucks them out with his mouth.
Yeah c’mon. Daniel White

Looking good keep the pics coming. I had that same motor on an Astro and I loved that boat.
One day the right woman will come along and the next thing you know you'll be wearing her underwear!

Looking Good. Those old tissue craft boats will fly!
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all!

OK, so I'm done ripping out old carpet and scrapping up old glue. I did a little compounding on the hull today as well, but I'm gonna finish all that up when I get the carpet installed. I'm so sick of working on schit right now that the next update you get will be when I install the carpet sometime this weekend. Here she is all old carpet and glue free

What are the steps to polishing and then sealing the gel coat? I have a Carolina Skiff that I would like to clean the hull on. IT has a lot of oxidation on the sides. 1st, you will need a polisher / sander. I picked mine up from Harbor Freight. http://www.harborfreight.com/7-inch-variable-speed-polisher-sander-92623.htmlThen you will need a "Cutting Pad" and a "Polishing Pad" You will need a cutting compound, probably mid cut grade, a polish and pure karnaba wax. I take a damp cloth and wipe down the area I'm going to compound. Then I mist that area with water and squirt the cutting compound on to it. Then, at a low speed, "I use 1" using your compounding pad, go over the area very well. Try not to leave it in one spot for more than a few seconds or you could damage the gel coat. I slowly work my way over the area until the cutting compound has dried out. I then wipe it down with a damp cloth and clean the area off. Then I remist it with water and compound it again. Once you have done that, you should see it shine and it should feel smooth to the touch. Apply your polish with a cloth and then wipe it down with a clean cloth. DON'T let the polish dry. Wipe it and then wipe it off with a clean cloth. Then apply your wax with a cloth and let it sit for a few minutes. Then go over it with your polishing pad and your polisher. It should shine like new. I can't stress how important it is not to spend to much time in one spot when compounding. You will burn slap through your gelcoat and phuck up your finish. So compound slowly and steadily and don't spend more than a few seconds in one spot.

So you live in the wooden barn with a 2 car garage and a bass boat? Welcome back to Alabama.
One day the right woman will come along and the next thing you know you'll be wearing her underwear!
