[QUOTE="sworrior, post: 361273, member: 14410"] Not many 90deg days in Wisconsin and given the weather lately, I'll probably have to use space heaters in my garage. Even for up here, this Summer has been chilly. We'll be lucky to hit 70F today, let alone the average high of 86. Started wire brushing the seams, joints, and rivets and will wipe down with laquer thinner in preparation for the Gluvit. I plan to use a rattle can primer since I already have enough on hand to do the entire boat. Any problems with this or should I save it for another project? Any advice on paint selection? After looking around the site, I saw duck-boat paint seemed to get the most approval. I will roll it on and will either go with an OD Green or a Desert Tan color. Would love to get my hands on some of the primer and Haze Gray two-part paint we used on the ship. That stuff was tough as nails. Will post some pictures of the transom cut to size and the hull progress this evening. Thanks again everyone. I almost forgot, did some fishing yesterday, spent most of the day fighting the wind and only ended up with a few small gills. Still... [/QUOTE]
