Hi to all the group and my update for the group. My wife and I just
laid the bottom on our brick using the plastic sheeting and copper.
What a bright finish the copper provides but there are things not to
do. After buying the sheeting at my local wall mart I let it sit in
my metal shop. The first part of the roll developed wrinkles. Before
you use it you have to let it set out flat to get the wrinkled part
out.
You need to also use a roller to smooth out the air bubbles. I just
used regular fiberglass plastic paddles but I have come to the
conclusion that a roller is a better tool. finally the finish you
get will be ultra smooth and bright. It fairs out much better than
the standard method and you get the best finish in the world. I can
attest to the fact that a copper bottom beautifies your boat but how
often do you look under the boat?
Now to the JointAbility article at Duckworks. I had the tool for 4
months and now it seems that making scarph joints has become much
easier than ever before. If you even think you might build a boat
longer than eight feet please read the article. You can also get the
information packet fromhttp://www.rbiwoodtools.com/and you'll find
this tool indispensable. Just to let you know I have a series of
before the holidays articles I'm doing that include the new Briggs &
Stratton outboard I've been testing, Japanese saws by Shark Saws, A
new adjustable slot tool that adjusts from 1/4" to 1/2" by turning a
dial. The new Freud no sand blades that polish the wood as they cut
and a comprehensive multiple wood planer article that tests the most
popular brands and I'll tell you how they performed in my shop. Plus
many others so you can let your significant other know what to put
under the tree this year to make your boat building more pleasurable.
That's all for now, so in a few weeks I'll tell you how my bow roof
shed is being built and the Bolger Zephyr. I am going to put a
cutter rig on it instead of the lateen sail that is standard.
Have fun,
John Cupp
laid the bottom on our brick using the plastic sheeting and copper.
What a bright finish the copper provides but there are things not to
do. After buying the sheeting at my local wall mart I let it sit in
my metal shop. The first part of the roll developed wrinkles. Before
you use it you have to let it set out flat to get the wrinkled part
out.
You need to also use a roller to smooth out the air bubbles. I just
used regular fiberglass plastic paddles but I have come to the
conclusion that a roller is a better tool. finally the finish you
get will be ultra smooth and bright. It fairs out much better than
the standard method and you get the best finish in the world. I can
attest to the fact that a copper bottom beautifies your boat but how
often do you look under the boat?
Now to the JointAbility article at Duckworks. I had the tool for 4
months and now it seems that making scarph joints has become much
easier than ever before. If you even think you might build a boat
longer than eight feet please read the article. You can also get the
information packet fromhttp://www.rbiwoodtools.com/and you'll find
this tool indispensable. Just to let you know I have a series of
before the holidays articles I'm doing that include the new Briggs &
Stratton outboard I've been testing, Japanese saws by Shark Saws, A
new adjustable slot tool that adjusts from 1/4" to 1/2" by turning a
dial. The new Freud no sand blades that polish the wood as they cut
and a comprehensive multiple wood planer article that tests the most
popular brands and I'll tell you how they performed in my shop. Plus
many others so you can let your significant other know what to put
under the tree this year to make your boat building more pleasurable.
That's all for now, so in a few weeks I'll tell you how my bow roof
shed is being built and the Bolger Zephyr. I am going to put a
cutter rig on it instead of the lateen sail that is standard.
Have fun,
John Cupp
