watched all the videos to this point Nick...Im a 39 year old trim carpenter who lives on a lake and have a small shop. You sir, have inspired me. Cheers!
The Carbide paint scraper is easier for these Old hands, feathering those edges and drips. I'd worry about the spots that weren't sanded white, showing up as blotchy ?
I have never found the carbide paint scrapers particularly sharp. They don't dull easily, but they aren't really sharp. A good steel scraper can be sharpened to a really fine edge and is just much more satisfactory. But the rasp works great also. One thing about the initial fill coat I squeegeed on is it acts as a bit of a primer coat. I do not seem to have any problems with blotchiness. Note, the scrub down with ammonia and water also scuffs the surface and helps prepare it for epoxy.
@@NickSchade The sharpness of my scraper was good, but the difference between my use and yours ? I scraped while the epoxy is green, within a day or two, not six months later, Enjoying your videos !
@@jimdodd3462 That does make a difference. I just figured out that my previous reply referred to something on the video I was editing at the time and not something on the video you were watching. You will see my fill coat procedure on the next video, with no blotching.

After taking your class a couple times, it's fun seeing you finish off one of the class built boats. I hope you and your family are doing well.
Thanks for all your time and hard work you put into these videos! Really enjoy watching and seeing ways I can improve on my next kayak!
That was excellent Nick.
Great instructions and tips Nick!
Nick, sorry your June kayak class got cancelled. It would have been fun and informative! Will miss being at WBS this year. Regards, Doug H.
I am planning on there being other years. For now I can make some videos.
Nice tip on how to remove drips
What is the brand name/model number on the hand sanding pad with vacuum port? Never seen that before. Thanks, Edward
