Ernesto Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 for raw sanding I use 60 grit then smooth it out with 120 then 400. I also use norton 3x sandpaper, it seems to hold up betterK cool I'll look for it at home depot this afternoon...You think with 60grit I'll be fine if were going to lay Vinyl over it? Would I need to use filler and all that stuff or sanding should do the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 BTW that boat yard resin and mat is a piece of shit...I recommend everybody stay away from it. With regular bondo the next day it would be as hard as a rock...This boatyard shit was still half wet and I added more than enough hardner :R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP Zoutes Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 it will show through with vinyl. you want the surface to be paintable smooth with vinyl. Once you knock it down with 60 taking the steps with 120 and 400 doesn't take that long but will look better. I would suggest the same steps in the port. I've never had a problem with fiberglass still being wet the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted September 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 OK thanks man...you've been a great help especially being on at this time of the day to help me out :^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP Zoutes Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I try. Did you knock that shit smooth in the port. I'm guessing but that resin you bot may just need a hotter mixter of hardener. Did it start chunking up on you in the bucket while you were using it? If it did how long did it take? IF it didn't use more hardener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
