Have you considered metal flake. :)))))

If you take a 1 in or so piece of 3/4 copper tube and cut a 1/8 slice out of it down the side. you can reform it to slide inside of the 3/4" tube then solder it in. Then you can use the standard plastic bimini top hardware from West marine or Defender. I've used this for years. If you really...

I make my own out of 3/16 plexiglass over wood bases. If you have a table saw or radial arm it's not very hard at all

Another good varnish for UV protection is Petit Bak V Spar. But it does run a little darker than most.

On the other hand here's what I built. 600lbs of steel and a welder and 6 week ends. Priceless Low and slow baby :)))))

If your using a Ditzler lacquer based primer 220 is about the coursest you'd go. It's a brown primer that will etch into the epoxy. It's ridiculouly durable because of that so if you cut throught the topcoat all you get is brown. As for letting the epoxy cure for several weeks. No need...

If it's epoxy wipe it down with ammonia water. That will remove the amine blush. Then sand. Start with 80 grit and work up to 220. You might want to consider a lacquer based primer. That will give you a good barrier under the color coat.

You want cheap go the Alston Brown route. An Azalia pot with a hot plate in the bottom. Cover the whole thing with a cardboard box. On the other hand 800 lbs of steel does level out the temp pretty nice. I use lump charcoal and cherry wood on the ribs.

I've got a Nikon D80 with a 70-200 2.8 VR and a 2X TC for it. After looking at these shots you've been posting I think I might just have to take my gear out to the blind and try my hand at this

Excellant shots. What camera and lens?

You want bad bourban try Old Crow. Not bad for cooking but that's about all. I'm a Jack Daniels fan. Saw a T shirt down at the distillery said "you may know Jack but I know Jimmy" At the time Jimmy Bedford was the master distiller at JD. I got invited to join the Tennessee Squire's so now I...

Great game and a great party watching it

I'm not actually much of a football fan, but I have to go with the home town team. Speaking B Ball reffing. i did 10 years in the Madison rec depart referring basketball. I see Rfberan is doing duck gumbo. That's my favorait duck receipe.

Roll call - What's your vote. Packers or steelers on Sunday? And what are you making? I'm making a prime rib for half time.

If you'r willing to try a wood call you might pick up an old Earl Dennison. They have a real raspy tone. You could always buy and lathe and mill and make your own:)) This of how much money you'll save! That was my excuse.

Yup, 4#. Next time I'm going to go to 2# to reduce weight

Dent resistance and smooth out the little iregularities. Some of the bodies didn't fill completed and I had to add some more foam.

IMHO Ray: everything you said is correct but I think you stopped short. And that's freeboard. Sneak boats (I have a Devlin BB) have zilch for freeboard. Yes they rock back on the rear flats and the nose comes up when you power up and the deep V hull is inherintly stable and the nose cuts...

I made a dozen out of the mag diver mold from American and burlapped them. I went with the urathane. I thought the body shape was a little too long for the width so I sawed of the flat tail feather area and they look a lot better IMHO. This also made them a lot easier to burlap. I bought mag...

Not a word has been mentioned about this gun so OK here comes some heresy. Browning A-5. Nothing sounds better than the solid clank of a square back closing up. Now I admit that I've been shooting a Extrema for the last few years for ducks. That's mainly because my A-5 is a 3" Belguim made...
