Welcome July 2009

Final on Kent boat ... painting the mast .
Some project like " Kent " did start in May , to understand it , you should scroll down .
Thanks .
Philippe .

Ok ! I give you a ..........Short cut

BEFORE AFTER

I do love mast painting ...

Just be sure , you have a good friend on the deck safety line !!!!!
I will test video editing on the site next week .. up & down the mast will be a good test

the " vue " is great ... 80 ' up water

July 08 ... back to earth ..
We are starting a 1959 old Woodie .. leaking . it is normal for a wood boat to leak a little , it is good to have salt water at the bottom of your bilge , but not to much or you will sink .
Dry Rot came from fresh water infiltrations ( deck corners / windows joints .... )
In this case i will sand the hull & bottom / Smith epoxy , seal bare wood / West system all cracks /
Epoxy primer / 3M marine filler underwater , minor cracks ..... & for the fun: 2 coats of Awllgrip LP.


	July 10 .... more work then expected ... old woodies are dangerous for the business !


	Sunday July 19

Sea Myst ( California marina ) July 06 2009 ........
should be done by Friday



		July 10 2009 Done

Lacquers / Lacques / .

As I did tell you before , Lacquers / Lacques en Francais ... en Chinois aussi pour moi , are my
new obsession . I did finish last week for Johnny Halliday LA home a coffee table .. off white .
Light colors are relatively easy ... but black or any dark colors ... MAMA Mia !!!!
More close to perfection I am , more defects I find ... I think , it is the "grall " search !

Hey ! I am doing very good , but Lacquers request
perfection , and I am far away from satisfaction yet !!!
