First build... Cheap boat, lots of power

[srislash]

Ok im glad i have yall helping. I would be so lost without you two. Hah. I have had problems in the past with the paint getting what looks like is veins. Once i get the paint i will ask for more help.. im still really glad you are donating parts. Very kind.

The veins are chemical reactions between paints and they happen to the best of us from time to time.For the rudder linkage perhaps someone has a rubber boot to throw at you.I do if no one else does.

Ok and what about the strut? Will that be a problem?

[srislash]

Into a what?

I was expecting that.Nevermind it's advanced,you'll get there.

Got u covered on the steering linkage!Found some water inlets and outlets i will send also.Do you have any water tubing? if not i'll send some.

[masonis1]

Can it simply be reversed like you said?

[srislash]

I think it can simply be turned around.I'll ask Izicain

[masonis1]

I asked him i will let you know as well. So i need to prime, sand, paint.

[srislash]

Yup,there is nothing worse than a scratchy looking paint job.I would even go to 600 grit before the final paint.Have you done much with a spray bomb?

[masonis1]

Not much spray paint at all.. hah ive painted my bmx bike, turned out ok... Paint the boat before... Bad... Paint my bb gun, good... Thats about all ive painted.. how can i paint the inside of the hull?

I did a spray paint job on this build thread, procedure is included, came out great. Secret is wet sanding in between coats-- and to start with a very light mist coat before going to heavier wet coats.

There is a very good tips section on painting on the OSE main site:

I have some tubing but now much. I dont really know all i need. I will probably be getting that rudder/strut unless told otherwise.. that comes with flex line, drive dog, tubing, and i dont know what else.. but almost everything to get it running.

[srislash]

Haven't done that much(inside) just did my CF twin. Wanna see pics?

[masonis1]

I kinda just used old fuel tubing as the water lines. Hah..

[masonis1]

Sorry for all the reposts. I forget to say stuff... Hah so should i sand with say 600 grit in between each coat until the last?

[masonis1]

Id really like pics. And i will check out that thread for the tips. How do you wet sand? Just water and sand paper or what?
