: Ha, ha! Very funny John. I just got in from chasing Dungeness with kayaks
: and I've eaten my fill, so I'm in a good mood.

You really know how to hurt a guy! We can't get Dungeness here in the desert. That's the real reason I come up to the Rendezvous!

: What are you using for resin John, and how are you applying it to the hull?

I'm using Raka's "no blush" combination - that same as I used on the Return. Temps in the shop are running about 80 degrees with the evap cooler running. I'm using a brush to apply. Perhap a roller would work better - haven't ever tried one.

: don't remember having trouble with large bubbles with the 3.25 oz satin on
: Holly's boat. Maybe age is creeping up on me and I just forgot. I use a
: roller and MAS and my shop stays around 60 most of the time. Perhaps those
: things make a difference.

: After some more, ahem, testing and researching strength and temp performance,
: I'm switching to Clear Coat for the wet-out on my King.

I'd like a full and complete report on the Clear Coat - might be just the ticket for wetting out tight weave fabrics.

: It must be kind of weird having a camera crew hovering around. I would have
: to clean up both my shop and my vocabulary.

It's not too bad until they stick the camera in your face as something goes wrong! 98% will hit the cutting room floor (digitally) - they're combining this building segment with a segment on high speed (150 mph+) powerboats.

Good luck on your King!
