1965 Alcort Sunfish WAVE 12 Jul 19 Repair Supplies

12 Jul 19:

Jamestown Distributors sent us some TotalBoat products for WAVE's repair, she needs a few things done. We are Ambassadors for the brand and get the supplies free, but before we came Ambassadors we happily paid for them. We have been happy with the products and especially Jamestown Distributors excellent Tech Team and website. We only put products on our boats that are going to last, and so far that has been experience. JD also sells other brands that we have enjoyed using in the past, Interlux and Pettit and also some RustOleum Topside.

Ding dong!


WAVE needs some fiberglass repairs, we will use THIXO (Thickened Epoxy) to bed the fiberglass cloth into a backer patch and build up repair areas.


The regular epoxy will be used to wet out the fiberglass cloth.


We have several old fiberglass repairs on the hull to clean up, once the fiberglass is repaired we will fair, prime and paint WetEdge BlueGlo White.


The other repair is internal, one of the foam blocks has come loose, we will reset it and fix it in place with flotation foam, it is a tenacious adhesive.

Want to build your own Small Boat Restoration empire? Or just stock up the boat shop? We put links to sailing gear, manuals, tools, materials and a few other items all in one Amazon Associates store. Shop online, save tax and have the items shipped to your door! One of my favorite items are the Sperry Kingfisher deck shoes, listed under Sailing Gear. I bought a pair and like how they stay snug on my feet. Skipper Jack got a pair too.
