lbhbul Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nothing else to do as the lake is on the rise so there goes my spring fishing!! Just thought I would share another fine mess I have gotten into, this tank which has been up on the very top shelf for ages just begged for some help and made nice for my m199, alas it wasn't so good & after much head scratching , decided I'll just cut you open & try to clean up all the stuff the PO,s have done over time; raw resin. pieces of fiberglass mat, & mostly done without proper cleaning, so hence not much bonded, so was impossible for me to get clean for a proper lining job. We'll see how it goes! Larry 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpar Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 That would frighten the hell out of me, I would have avoided eye contact and waited for the lake to recede!! Best of luck anyway Larry. Larry2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhbul Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 It ain't the first time I've let my better sense go out the window, but we shall see how it goes. Will keep all informed of progress & pitfalls I get myself into so as to contribute to the "I shouldn't have done that ect." We'll see how it goes.

lbhbul Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 A little progress report as we have got the inside cleaned & ground out where necessary, it seems the thing must have been used for a catch-all for whatever scraps of glass and then about 3/16 inch raw resin poured in to secure the mess. Probably should have left it on the shelf, but nothing ventured , nothing gained. But oh well it has already been noted " I'm a glutton for punishment" Larry 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhbul Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Well I had a bit of time so got the bottom all bonded & glassed back together, washed it out with lacquer thinner ,then acetone (quick with the acetone), got things all dry then on to the application of Kwik Poly (2 part epoxy that is like water with 3 minute work time) this is good arm exercise as you better not slow down until Sues' cooking timer goes off, 3 applications & I'm done. Later I will get the body work done & painted then hopefully the Silk Purse. To be continued. Larry 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpar Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well done Larry! Sounds like a pretty good outcome. Larry 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
