Geico & Mystic Epoxy Hatches

[Darin Jordan]

Those do look nice... I might have to get a couple myself!

[tiqueman]

I would like one when you get a chance.

Will do Steven. I will get it out asap.

Wow! Those look great! A new lid will give me the opportunity to add hatch locks.

Thanks gentleman. I cant wait til I can make myself one.... orders are thru the roof right now.

[ray schrauwen]

Your on the list. Ill get it done asap.

You got it Hugh. Ill have it done and hand deliver it if your going to be at Ackerman next weekend.


Rafael, It still has some curing to do but I will probably ship it today anyway. Heres some pics, and yes, it fits w/ the tuperware lid.

OOOOOOh, I'm getting goose bumps, that is SAWEET!!! I can wait for mine to cure a while. Don't want anything funky happening on the way to Canada!!!

[ray schrauwen]

very nice, now if anyone can find a good paint for color matching please let us all know here!

If you look at your Hatch & hull the canopy is not the same shade as the hull so WTF? Who cares if when you paint it, it's not perfect. It wasn't perfect to begin with

not looking for perfect, just close... have you found such a thing?

Pactra, RC5407, but Im not sure how well it will last on a canopy. Works great for touch up though. Im going to try one at some point when I can make a hatch for myself.

Yeah, I shipped 2 BJ26 hatches to Canada and had an issue with one. the epoxy topcoat developed a hairline crack along the side of the canopy. Im guessing because of the temp difference? But I dont know. Its the only issue Ive had so far, and I sent 2 in the same box at that time. No box damage etc. So yeah, Im gunna let yours cure a bit more before I ship it off.

Like Scott just mentioned or I'll just buy some bottles of Tamiya Acrylic Laquers and mix up a batch for the airbrush. Should be close... maybe just repaint the entire hull Tamiya Lime green and be done with it!!

Or just paint another colour...If there is another MG in our club, we need to make them look different somehow...

too bad they wernt ready when larry took off for canada aaaah. he could have shipped em from there

[tiqueman]

I think he leaves on the 7th? But I wont have it by then anyway....

[ray schrauwen]

Yep... You guys know Larry huh? Cool.

I miss him. He's not bringing any boats up this summer but, maybe he'll take one of my rides for a spin and help me trim them out.

[tiqueman]

Sweet! Can't wait!

Tunnel, yours is done. Just have to trim it out. Im not sure if I will make it to the PO tomorrow, so it may not go out until Thursday. Sent a PM

Lectriglide, I hope to have yours ready to be mailed on Friday or Saturday

[tunnelvision]

Paypal sent!!

[tiqueman]

Got it, heres your lid. It looks as if the left side of the windshield (2nd pic) has a dent or something, its the reflection of the front face of the left scoop... shiney!!!!

[tunnelvision]

Thanks Tiqueman, looks so good I don't even want to paint it. I might have to paint my boat white.
