Are you asking about the brass well press fittings, plumbing fittings, or both. I made a pair of pliers for removing and re-installing the plumbing thru hull fittings. I will take a picture of them...
If you were closer I would give it to you. You won't need much. Be sure to bury your flake well, if it is colored and you sand the color off all flake is silver under the color treatment to the flake.
Video explains a lot. I'm with APS that it still must be very thin to spray out of a can. The salesman doesn't say anything about a flake job just that they have a very library if color formulas.
Another point I should have made earlier is any professional repair later you will have to grind out the contamination you add. I looked at the link but I see no tech sheets or info. Isocyanate is...
Just keep in mind anything non-catalyzed you put on your boat will wrinkle and lift later including gelcoat.
Paul he doesn't mix the flake, you spray down a wet coat of clear then apply the flake with a dry flake gun. That is what I have here. After applying the flake clean compressed, air regulated down,...
So if you have spots that won't seem to go away there is a bacteria that eats the pigment in vinyl. It leaving white vinyl pink. If that is the cause of the damage there is no fixing. Now it does not...
Rattle can clear not only won't build enough to bury the flake but will peel off. Not a great idea Bud. A high solids Euro Clear will stick if enough tooth is left after sanding. No 800 grit stuff I...
You must use a adhesive remover. I have posted here a few times already. Search my posts with adhesive remover and you will find it. Adhesive remover breaks down the adhesive to components and takes...
All the caps I have pulled the cap is bonded to the hull at the transom. I have never had to cut it free since the bond has been more of a thickened resin filler with poor adhesion but I did do a lot...
Bud, thank you for the vote of confidence, here is the link to my Champion, I will be back on it this summer.

I spray with a 2.6 HVLP Gravity feed. I had a nice talk with the owner once. He said their thinner is best to maintain the same spray gloss so now I pile it on then sand flat then come back and spray...
It's new packaging for me, better than the gallon paint cans it used to come in.
I do not do any gelcoat work without it.
That's why I run custom windshields on everything. I may have some wind drag but my hands and face are protected as winter fishing is the bomb for me.
#1 Coosa Bluewater 26, also #2, #3, #4, & #5. 5 of the best reasons. I did it professionally, all I ever used was Coosa Composites. All the shops thru the region here use Coosa Bluewater 26 too.
First, closed cell needs to lay flat. I don't know your boat but in most carpeted cockpits the carpet hides the nasty seam between the Cap and the hull. It is not finished, they carpet over to hide...
I replaced transoms for a living. Only used Coosa Bluewater 26. Search my posts bud concerning a pourable transom and my explanation of why doing it right matters long term. My SD-80 is a '87 so...
Bud pulling the cap is fairly straight forward. If you take pictures on the inside around the splash well, cockpit, front storage we might can help you. A year model would help too. I have a SD-80...
Just a quick post with the rod holder installed.

I forgot to post for you a 2003 Triton in my shop now for some repairs. New 300HP (90 days old), I recently completely reworked the canvas, that is the second T-Top the first one cracked almost...
Well I finished welding, sanded, and Painted the Rod holder today. It will be installed in the morning.

Very Respectfully speaking, I would not touch it for $4500. That is a great price if they do it right. Price a replacement boat without any issues. So if I can provide some perspective, I would...
John, I hate to be the first to tell you this but if you like the boat bring it to a professional. All that gelcoat must be removed and a tooth applied to the substrate then new gelcoat with...
