Sneakbox Renovation

Good morning, Steve~

Your 1 x 3/4 Mahogany is perfect!

I'm looking forward to seeing your work - and getting ready to make some similar thatch rails for another South Bay.

All the best,

Steve S,

Finally was able to attach the new grass rails. Man I love the way they look. The 5200 is (hopefully) curing as I type this.

Can't believe how long this has taken, but having a full-time job does, sadly, kind of get in the way of boat projects.

I've already lost 2 weekends of our duck season to this project, and I guess the rest of this week, while the product goes through its week-long cure.

Rather than then losing more time to painting over them again (to cover the white 5200 that is showing) I may, for the remainder of this season, just try use them as is once they cure, and hope to do a proper paint touch-up job in the spring.

Thanks again, Steve S, for your kind assistance.

Although the 5200 full cure takes about a week, it usually skins over after a day or so. I just completed another boat (South Bay Duckboat - post coming soon) and sprayed the 5200 after 24 hours - prior to final paint. You might want to hit it with spray paint now - and do final sanding and painting post-season.

(I also splurged and used the more expensive Mahogany-colored 5200)

All the best,
