23' & 26' Hourston Project Commenced...

I don’t have a part number. It’s a gasket for a CR Laurence / US Aluminum 7200 series window. CRLaurence has a facility in Calgary so maybe you could phone them and get contacts for some glaziers out your way that might have stock of it. I doubt CRL would sell you a small amount of it.

otherwise I have about 1500’ of it here and haven’t used it in over ten years so I can ship some to you if need be.

Thx @Corey_lax I have an email gone into AdvanTec for this, I if can't just buy 30' ill try the stuff you have, which I think will work. Thank you

Hey @Corey_lax I am also looking for some flat gasket 1" x 3/8" or 5/16", I emailed Faucher Industries on this one, do you have anything link this, it can also be wider than 1", up to 2" will do, I will jut trim the excess off.

Hi,
In stock in Edmonton
Minimum 8rls at $17.83/rl.

Looks like I have to order 8 reels, assuming 8 reels in a box

I think that is a soft spongy weatherstripping gasket. Is that what you are expecting or something more dense and sticky on both sides? You can get the single sided sticky weatherstripping from basically any hardware store or Canadian Tire.

That is correct, I am looking for tape that is semi UV resistant, not sure if Canadian Tire or Home Depot stuff is, i will look into it. The stuff that I removed is a grey very dense cell foam tape that appears to be sticky on at least one side...

I have seen some of that black stuff turn all crumbly and hard in a short time

Well its been awhile and kinda bored today so just threw together a quick vid...

I decided to just keep going the way I was , topside of roof all sanded with 120gr and faired, ill do 220 and 320 tomorrow and go over it once more with the light, then ready for primer/paint with some non-skid of course

 

[EZZ70]

Ready for paint, went over the roof 3 times with trouble light and fairing in-fills, sanded with 220 and cleaned with acetone... Now what paint will I use, hummm Definitely not spending an arm & a leg on the paint or paying to get it sprayed!

 

[Doubleheader]

using Interlux Brightside on the old 20’. Cheap, easy to work with and flows out nice while spraying. Can’t comment on the durability yet but I’m hoping it’s decent

 

[EZZ70]

I know I am not in the club yet but its a start... haha

 

[Stizzla]

Looking good! Next some Skinny g’s and AP sandlances/coho killers and some Rhys Davis no bananas teaser heads and you’re set!

 

[Rain City]

I don't have a ton of AP gear but the sandlance is a go-to for early winter springs on my boat.

Ya "I pity the fool" & salmon lol, haven't heard of Mr T in ages...

I was hopeful that this was the last and final sand & prep before paint, but unfortunately not. After I applied the dry guide, boy-O-boy it revealed allot of scratches during the 32ogrit sanding, so had a few more pits that needed attention before final it should be 100% now and ready for primer/paint...

I have much appreciation for your patience.. This is a big surface and deciding to do yet another build up and knock down after thinking you were done is a very strong internal moral debate . Awesome stuff

 

[MadJigga]

I’m
Once again impressed. Nice work.

Sucker for punishment, but a eye for quality and if you are going to do a job you should do it right. Great job.

I’m
Once again impressed. Nice work.

Pep is 95% of the final products outcome! I know it's ONLY a roof and most of the surface will end up being non-skid but gots to try and give everything the same level of finish...

Getting ready to do the prep for hull/topside and bottom for paint. I have the sides sanded to 150grit and will finish with a 320grit, the bottom is being cleaned up by using paint remover. I am using Dumond SmartStrip available at Rona, I done a test and it seems to work pretty good with 2 coats, although I think PeelAway would work as well according to the reviews I found.

The water line and boot-stripe looked to be not at all where they are suppose to be so will need to confirm location down the road

I am thinking on using Interlux CSC for bottom paint as it can be hauled and relaunched without re-coating, I need something that is bunk-trailer friendly and will not peel if not in water... any opinions?
