Lol it'll get its own shelf... or shall I say stand, at floor level... protected under a cover, with security.. like a security blanket. Lasers locks.... actually we have a perfect plant shelf off the family room... I'm may try n make that happen.

Seems like bad things come in three's and unfortunately my third was a mishap on my 135.. actually more of a careless mistake. And, I didn't notice it until about 7 hours after I picked p the boat. I was so upset I didn't post anything lastnight about it.
Basically the painter got overspray buried in heavy clear inside my hull. Im not sure what Im going to do with it now. Ive got a sh$* load of money into CF parts and bling for this boat and refuse to put it into a destroyed interior. Yes the simple solution, scuff it and get as much out as possible and carbon it, but Im not doing that. Its a fricken HPR, IMO the worlds finest boat builder that somehow reaches perfection in laying up his hulls. Why would I want to cover that!?!?!?!?! So I dunno. Im waiting to hear back from the painter as I spoke to him last night. Hes going to contact some suppliers and see if theres anything out there that will remove clear and not destroy the epoxy under it. I have my doubts....... I took some pics of it inside, the only way to see the clear is, well, its clear, its super shiney inside my hull. Then theres a line of yellow heavy in the port rear sponson and the entire back inside is yellow. Hard to see in the pic. I took it inside last night. Ill see if I the sun later today I can get better.Last edited by tiqueman; 11-06-2013, 09:10 AM.Comment

Oh man I'd be so pissed! WTF did your painter think? "It's the inside it'll be ok"? That's just about grounds for a beat down!!!Comment

Yeah, I was so upset when I saw it last night I seriously felt nauseous. Pissed does not describe my feelings.Comment

I really hope you figure something out Scott, nothing is springing to my mind. I don't think Acetone would cut it. Is it water base, acrylic or laquer? I can ask a few buds.Comment
-
he said nothing he knows of will cut it and as of last night, the only way to get it out is sand it. That's not an option. I told him it would be like laying a piece of screen down and clearing it until its smooth. Youd have to sand the entire thing away to get all the clear out. And even so, Im NOT sanding and refinishing an HPR insideComment

Oh dude! That just $ucks!! I doubt there is anything that can remove it without upsetting the epoxy? How about sanding it down, will that do the trick? Then gently apply resin on the sanded area with a sponge or something? If not I would get a layer of carbon in it by someone who really knows what they are doing. Other then that? Man I'd be sooo pi$$ed!Visit www.customcfparts.com | Custom Boat Building | Custom Carbon Fiber Parts | Custom Graphics | LMT Premium Dealer | MGM Premium Dealer | YouTube | Facebook

I am feeling for ya here Scott, I made the same mistake once on a customer boat. I sanded and re cleared but I still was not 100% about it.Comment

Scott serious, if the parts don't cover the overspray or you don't think the sanding down will work you should consider a CF layer. It would then look nice and carbony. Also give you some extra strength. It's sad when things like this happens, hardly any words that can describe. But what are the options?Visit www.customcfparts.com | Custom Boat Building | Custom Carbon Fiber Parts | Custom Graphics | LMT Premium Dealer | MGM Premium Dealer | YouTube | Facebook

Yeah I know. I can carbon it.. its just the point of it. I have some ideas. I just dont want to do it. They don't cover it because he cleared the entire inside... purposely I guess because he said on the phone he knew he did it. The crap part of that is he buried color under it. So nothing will hide it or even probably bond correctly for that matter. In all reality, the only way to repair it is to carbon it. Which makes me sick.
To me that's like having to take a duplicolor rattle can to a brand new Ferrari. Doesn't matter how well you did it, its still not the original perfectionComment

when something bad goes wrong in a build take a step back and then make a plan to build it better than it was.
Carbon inlays can look absolutely perfect with the right cloth and resin, not a single seam will ever show. If not sure of your own inlays I'd send it out to Keith and have him add a layer. HPR hulls are beautiful no doubt it totally sucks this happened to your boat but now you can make something perfect and truly unique. Keith adds inlays to high end mhz hulls and only enhances them I've had some work end up looking good with 105/207 also.Comment

Really sux! Even the fact it's cleared. Why would someone do that...
You still have a bad a$$ boat. Get him to sand it all out, that way any more mistakes he is responsible. Then you can just carbon it and get a cool look. Heck, if you crash hard one day you may even appreciate you have the extra layer.Visit www.customcfparts.com | Custom Boat Building | Custom Carbon Fiber Parts | Custom Graphics | LMT Premium Dealer | MGM Premium Dealer | YouTube | Facebook

Yeah its just one of those I didn't buy it to carbon it. If I did I would have bought an MHZ, not an HPR. And Keith agrees.
@ Iride: Ive done over 100 layups. Its not an issue of not knowing it will turn out, its I don't want to do it.Comment

Unless he comes and gets it, its a 4 hour round trip to take it back and Im not wasting my time and gas to do that either. so its likely on me to do it. Im just over it and so pissed. Im considering selling itComment
