And yet another duplicate post! I thought I was finally wiseing up! NOT !!!

Don't know if this transition point from cockpit to v berth area in a 22 is the same as the 19 but recently while prepping to repaint the deck I also extended the paint up into the the depression for the portapotty in the v berth to cover some scratches. I pulled the plastic plug under the potty...

Me too, but I think they are kinda like the 19! Not a lot of them around. I'm satisfied tho! Vern

Thanks Harvey, I needed that!! Vern

Cool, I did it ! Maybe I'm getting smarter...but then again, maybe not ! Vern

I just noticed, I did it again right after I said I was on track. I never have been accused of being the brightest bulb in the package or the sharpest knife in the drawer. I've always said "life is a matter of knowing your limitations". I guess this is one of mine ! Just posting now to see if I...

Next step is to give the boat a good wash down & check for any remnants of the last coat in any nook & crannies. Then rreabrade with steel wool, clean,clean, wipe down with lacquer thinner, wait for ups to bring more awlgrip & catalyst, then do it again. I'm covering lt grey with lt grey so it...

Boy that was easy!! The tech guy suggested a citrus based paint stripper as apposed to lacquer thinner. I was skeptical. It worked out wonderfully. Couple of scrub downs in a troweled on coat & hose her down! Only took about 1 1/2 hr. Either it's amazing stuff or I was just lucky it was...

Thank you boys, I'm back on track. It was indeed my use of the back button that was throwing me a curve. Up until about 9 years ago I said " just say NO to computers" but then it became obvious that I had to join in but electronics are still just as confusing to me as electricity. It's tough...

Bob. No I didn't use their primer. This is on the rough nonskid cockpit floor. My prep consisted of scrubbing the nonskid areas with #2 steel wool, scrubbing with scrub brush & lacquer thinner, repeated thinner wipe downs followed by vacuuming. Haven't heard back from awlgrip on my second...

Ok, it looks like I may have been hitting the back button. Thank you. Vern

I am using my ipad. Vern

Thank you boys, I got in touch with awlgrip & they said as you say. I screwed up again! I have another question into awlgrip asking if another catalyzed coat or 2 will negate the removal of the & catylise the uncatylized coat below. I'll let you know what they say. I certainly don't look...

I seem to be having trouble posting. Every post shows up twice. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Vern...... Oops, looked like it worked right this time but still don't understand what I did wrong!

I recoated the deck in the boat with awlgrip polyester urethane topcoat paint a week ago. It doesn't seem to be curing properly as it feels dry to the touch but my socks leave dull footprints in the gloss finish & stick a little. Do you suppose there was supposed to be a catalyst included with...

When I bought the dog, I knew about the floating life jackets in the v- berth storage & the numerous high water stains in my new to me "well maintained" boat. I reworked the anchor locker drain, which was the historical C-Dory snafu. Then pulled & resealed all the keel guard screws. Dry as a...

Some guys get everything!! Vern

The previous owner had a live bait tank on a little table on the splash well & a thru hull in the transom for the pump. I took all that off & put in a new thru hull in the same hole. My wash down pump is mounted to the inside of the transom, just above & to the left of the bilge sump between the...
