Vernese Customs

Vernese Customs

Hello viewer,
Welcome! I build custom.... stuff.. Historically, my skill set has centered around boat building and components of boats. I like challenging myself and often drift outside the marine industry. There really is no telling what may end up on this channel.

There may be some personal content thrown in. In the last 5 years, I took up Bowhunting. Honestly, if I knew how challenging it was, I would probably not started. Bowhunting on Public Land in South Florida is one of the most challenging endeavors I have come to know. I did not have the benefit of starting at the age of 12. I had to learn fast. I may share some of my experiences.

I also seem to encounter Alligators almost daily. This is peculiar because I was born in Eastern Kansas yet my Baby Book suggests my favorite toy was a stuffed alligator. I respect these creatures and enjoy capturing their activities. I don't know for certain, but I suspect these videos will get the most views.

I hope you enjoy the Journey!

    Sprayed. I have seen some good rolled paint jobs. There is really no comparison. Each coat we apply melts into the last and draws the clear to the surface. This will get blocked out and the final will be done in AwlGrip HDT

    I actually find it therapeutic! 😅 I am using AlexSeal fairing compound with Fast Hardener. I get about 30 minutes to work it. Can come back and pull more over it if needed in about 1 hour. I see a lot of "professionals" slap it on and sand it off. Not my thing. Tight wipes, block it out next day.

    You are correct! All resins and gelcoats have different weights. We are taught to "catalyze by weight" not by volume.

  • @vernesecustoms
    @vernesecustoms3 ай бұрын

    In mold or post finish application? I have never tried fast acrylic thinner in gelcoat. My understanding is that Duratec is not a gelcoat. It is an addittive. Some type of acrylic enamel blend that is activated with MEKP. I would start with styrene, upto 4-5% and increase the size of the nozzle orifice for in mold application. Use a dump gun or something similar like a spray bed liner gun.

    The Styrene evaporates as the material ages even if the pail is still sealed. It permeates the plastic bucket. The splash of styrene thins the gelcoat a fair amount and sprays much better. Thanks for asking!!

  • @vernesecustoms
    @vernesecustoms5 ай бұрын

    We expect very high propeller efficiency. The Strut base is 1/2" Stainless Steel plate in a 5/8" deep recess. We gave ourselves an 1/8" should we need to float the strut for alignment. We did not have to. We planned on fairing the Struts in ahead of time because we are running about 5% tip clearance on the props and hope to minimize any disturbance ahead of propellers. We don't plan to remove the strut bolts anytime soon. Should we have to, it would not be too much trouble. Thanks for watching! Check out some of the older videos for more details!
