Surely. I've seen two people working in tandem on bigger boats - one works the roller, the other follows right behind with the tipping brush. Even they worked inside a big shop, though. Would be really difficult to do outside where you couldn't control wind and sun. More hands wouldn't help. .

Thanks once the second coat is on, I’m was going to let it cure about 2 weeks before I wet sand with a 600 grit. Does this make sense? And again thank you for your videos
@eyeinhand3 ай бұрын
@@1970swimmer No need to sand between coats, or after. You just need to scuff it between coats to put a tooth in it for the next layer of wet paint to grab. I used those green scouring pads to buff off the shine to a dull mat. Easy, dust free, and leaves all the paint on the surface where you want it. If you use good gloss paint, the final coat will already be shiny, so wet sanding that with any grit will only take some off the gloss off.

Boat looks great. It looks like it is the Chuckanut 12 standard design and not the 12s? I thought the 12s was a hybrid. From Dave Gentry's site, "The Chuckanut 12"s" is a hybrid version of the C10 and C12. She shares the same frames and narrower beam as the C10, but is 12' long. This boat will be more stable than the C10, and the easiest boat of the three to build. The Chuckanut 12s also shares the longer cockpit of the standard C12. It looks like the tan color skin kayak that you have paddled in videos is the 12s as the cockpit in that boat is longer than standard. I only mention because I am thinking of building the Chuckanut but not sure which way to go, standard or the 12s. Thanks for your great videos. No one does it better for small boats in nature videos. Love them.
@eyeinhand6 ай бұрын
The blue one is indeed a 12s. I built it first for my wife, and got to try it out myself before starting the next one. It's perfect for her, and good for some of my friends, but was a bit tight for my almost six foot frame. Mine is the 15, and that's perfect for me and the kind of paddling I do. Not as nimble as the 12s, but tracks well in lakes and swamps, with plenty of room for a cooler and gear, and very stable. Both boats are easy and fun to build, and a real pleasure to use. We've put many miles on them already. This year I glued a strip of tire tube to the bottom edge of bow and stern. I had a lazy habit of gliding right up onto concrete ramps and the frequent abrasion worse through the skin there. And added a coat of paint to the blue one. Otherwise, that's all the maintenance in two years, and the stay outside in the weather all year.

Happy New Year! Thank You for this Magnificent Peaceful adventure.. I've forgotten the names of East Coast Birds, I've lived on the West Coast for over 20+ years now. The Walk on the way to your kayak as you pass the surrounding marsh grass that hugs the boardwalk, and the slow leisure paddling as you and friends enjoy the peaceful quiet of nature. Snow like the release of seeds via the wind; crunching on dropped pine needles in the woods with glints of sun playing with the camera. A Flag at half mast, a lone bird swimming leaving a draft in its forward motion, osprey nests scattered throughout, the sounds of the waves marching towards the islets of marsh grass, sandpipers dancing, driftwood galore scattered here and there like broken toys, and cotton candy like wisps of fog interwoven amongst the trees and over the fields. Just Awesome. Of course there's more... The Birds calling each other , and the lone walker with a bag to pick up trash? with the sun glinting on the waves. The Sunset .... Magnificent.
