westcoast Adventures. we are all about Adventures on land and sea . hunting fishing and wild camping . lots of trips out fishing from shore and boat . lots of trips out on the off road vehicles with wild camping and trying to source food and supplies along the way . join in with the us while building our projects to make these trips possible.
It took plenty of time Sat there thinking do we move lol . Had a day of nothing at all then it just came on . Figured we been chucking bait out all day so just as well stick with it . Luckily that time it paid off . Will be back out there in a few months
Whats the normal process for under the water line? I have a boat with hundreds of tiny osmosis blisters, each one about the size of a pinkie fingernail. My plan is too lift, gelcoat plane a couple of layers ofbthe fiberglass. Soda blast to expose any deeper blisters ect. Then leave on the hard for a few months. Fix blisters, a couple of layers of fiber glass. Fill and sand anything uneven. Then i would like to know what else needs to be added to the hull before coppercoat or antifoul? Any tips are really appreciated
You should tell the people the difference between gelcoat and flowcoat... if you use gel coat without a mould it will not set... flow coat is for redoing an exiting surface.. Gel coat is for a new build. This needs FLOW COAT not gel coat.
Looking at all the American videos they appear to be applying several layers gel coat without wax and then finishing off with a top layer of gel coat with wax.
I did 2 coats on this . I left the first coat to fully harden so I could sand it flat . Second coat lays down better . Follow the guidelines on the material you use for drying times
that is pretty impressive from dry 600 to buffing/polish, but becarefull dont go to fast and get to hot. and keep your sand paper clean. i like to do this with a bit of spray water and then more water and do 1000 sanding. but this guy know what he is doing and doing it fast.
Thanks for the video, maybe we have different terminology in Australia, but my understanding is gelcoat is unwaxed, flow coat is waxed. Aren't you cut and polishing flowcoat ? or have I got it wrong ? thanks, John.
is it non wax gelcoat or waxed? im getting ready to do my transom and i have to cut a part of my top cap off and then try and match the white gelcoat to the old stuff. so not the whole boat.
Todays champions 🤣🤣 His Mums mums mum was cleaning gel coat out of his dads overalls and yet.. Listen to the background noise, he doesn’t keep homing pidgins, he keeps seagulls and yet… And yet you all still think you know better. 🙄 Question, why don’t more people spray though, is it just regulations on the hard? I need to do a 44ft full keel and buggered if I’m rollering it for 6 coats. And then anti foul??
This video helped me more than any of the other ones that had the dude adding a ton of different additives and stuff. I like the simple method, maybe a little more sanding involved but it’s simpler that way.
I've sanded out some scratches, it all looks smooth in some light, but in others it still looks matte rather than shiny. Worked on it forever, sponge and buffer. How do I know if I'm using the correct polish?
Automotive Paints can look good on boats but are much less durable. They will scratch much easier, and chemicals like gasoline may lift/ruin your finish.
They’ve dug a trench because it’s a fucking bridleway. No cars allowed! Seriously though, if you’re going to drive on lanes like that, drive like you mean it. Suspension is meant to be broken
I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a ru-vid.comUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.
