Hug Flic and tell her how many levels of fun on SOLSTICE is in you guys' future!
Double Cheers!!

Thanks mate but there aren't nearly as many contributors as there used to be. I think I've bored them all to death haha.
Hopefully this week I'll be able to shoot on the second coat of primer. I've been having a fair bit of discussion with painters and the Jotun reps about paint viscosity. The Penguard HB in its true form can only be shot with an airless spryer at around 2000-3000psi. Whilst I have a good airless sprayer I'm not wanting to use it for the next two coats because I don't want the thickness. I just want to shoot on some primer that is around 18-22 DIN4 with a 1.4 fluid tip and air cap set up but Unfortunately Jotun don't do an epoxy primer with a viscosity like that. All epoxies work differently and sweat etc so I was in a quandary because I don't want to mix brands. We've all worked out I should be able to safely thin out the Penguard to the viscosity I need to allow me to shoot 2-3 light coverage coats but could be very quick to flash off but take longer to dry. I might try changing tips on the airless sprayer to a fine and see if that's any better. Argh what to what to do.

Matt - Your closing statement/question "Argh what to what to do."... compounded by the fact that I am not any type of a spray paint expert:
My suggestion would be to experiment time and again with different paint and sprayer combinations on scrap materials off the boat... but in same location for similar humidity, temperatures, breezes etc.
Having vicariously experienced your non-stop and inventive build-it capabilities throughout this thread, I'm confident you will come up with a great mix of finish-surface products that really make SOLSTICE Shine!

Still following along with great interest. I don't have anything to add to the conversation so am just hanging out in the cheap seats.

I keep following along because I am not bored. Amazed would be better. I look at my progress on my project over the same time frame and wonder how one bloke can get so much done. You keep inspiring those of us who are working on big projects by showing us that it can be done. Thanks.

We read, but sometimes we actually have nothing to contribute.
I'm still looking every time you post but now I'm taking you for granted - ho hum, another amazing job by Matt...its 100 degrees with 100% humidity, most Canadians would be dead...doesn't he ever fzck up? Yawn.

Ah ok fair enough. I'll start posting more regularly then. I just figured since there wasn't much visible interest I'd start to concentrate on other things than devoting time to the page. Anyways that's all for the moment. No progress on SOLSTICE over the weekend. Hopefully get down there after work today.

Yo.... Big Guy! I don't recommend pushing your butt too hard on my (or others') account. I am (also, believe we all are) happy to see what you do at whatever time schedule is comfortable for you.
You are the STAR attraction whose build-it brightness is sometimes blinding. SOLSTICE is the baby you're mind is birthing. Felicity seems to be your leveler that helps keep you grounded!

I'm definitely still following along. Hell, I think you should have your own show on the DIY network. I'd watch the hell out of that. I was so excited when I saw her start turning all shiny and white!

Not sure whether Big Brother is watching or not, but be aware that everyone else of any consequence is!
Also be aware that if something isn't absolutely perfect there will be a posting storm! I seem to remember a flurry regarding engine room vents.....
