Gee wiz Matt. Don't they have sanders with vacuum attachments for you to use. And, may I add - be careful of that dust in your eyes. SOLSTICE doesn't want you to get hurt again... She's holden her breath regarding the dust... just waiting for her splash!!

Morning mate. Haha vacuums...It’s been 7 years of wearing dust masks and alike
7 Years! - No Shat!! Time Does Fly!!!!
Nothing quite like sanding in full PPE when it’s 40deg under a tarp with no ventilation but I powered on and made some more progress with applying the Black guide coat and sanding it off to a smooth finish with some P320 on the DA Sander.

I wonder if it's too late to try to get a sponsorship from your sandpaper supplier. You've been single-handedly keeping them in business for years now. They owe you at this point.

Thanks for the offer brother but that’s really not necessary. The help and support you have given me is more than enough ;-)

When he finishes, bare feet, freshly bathed, just use the head ashore, no food, coasters under all glasses, only the owner and maybe the immediate family can use the head but only in emergencies, wear cotton gloves and you are not permitted to bleed on board.
Something of which you will be proud.
Wife: burn all your work clothes, hose off good outside and maybe she will let you back into the house.

Sorry Matt. Hey Jim.
Thanks for your words of encouragement mate. Not long till I have to start a SOLSTICE adventures thread lol
Finished off the superstructure, roof frieze, topsides and hull from the gunwhale to the midrail running down the Starboard side. I then guide coated the hull from the chine to the midrail in preparation for next week where I should have all the sanding closed out by Thursday with only a handful of little areas to sand where I have to touch up the primer after Easter.

You can almost taste the 'doneness'.
This year, some serious 'on the water' time, we all hope.

Greetings,
Mr. H. EVERY time I see one of your posts I wonder, "What the hell has he done now?" (In a nice way, of course). You people MUST have 49 hour days down under or some such other strange time warping phenomenon because what you get done in a few, what seems hours, would take me weeks, nay, months. Keep at it mate.
