    Epoxy over silicon caulk

    It seems like this winter will never end up here on the Missouri River in KCMO. Today the snow and ice finally started melting from the tarps covering my first home made boat. I want to get this peero floating and finished. I couldn't wait, I epoxy coated my "extra" boat ribs (first coat)...

    Thank you!

    You are truely a craftsman. The people in this forum really care and can give good feedback. My favorite so far is "I cut that board 3 times and it's still to D*** short". I am new here; but as near as I tell, it is not against their rules to have more than one owner built boat.

    Winters here in KCMO

    Winters here in KCMO

    flash point of epoxy Thanks for all the reading. Sometimes my estimations aren't very close to someone else's experience. You saved me a lot of work. I guess next Spring I'll spread the graphite/epoxy on the bottom and then paint to that line- moving the masking tape a little with each paint...

    Winters here in KCMO

    With the warm weather turning cold here in KCMO, I was wondering if I could paint my piroe's Poplar ( the salesman may have said the wood was popular) ribs with acrylic latex paint and then epoxy over them next spring when it warms up. From the forum it looks like you paint the bottom and then...
