Tom, a few minutes after that image was taken of the boat in the sun, the marine layer moved in and the temperature dropped precipitously. I had to bring the boat in where the house temperature was 75.

The Z-poxy Finishing Resin cured well overnight and I attacked it with 80 grit paper. It took a few hours until I had the surface defect free. I then had to remask everything, this time with paper also because I was going to do a lot of spraying. I use PCL 913 a lacquer based primer. Ever since these primers were banned for automotive use in the Los Angeles area, DuPont and PPG stopped shipping them here. Pacific Coast Lacquer is local and the only one available. A Devilbis Touch Up gun is used with the medium tip. 1 part of primer is mixed with 1.25 parts lacquer thinner. All spraying is done in the garage. The first coat was sanded with 150 grit paper, the second with 220 and the third with 400. All that fiberglass and resin really paid off because there was very filling to do. The surface is near perfect.
