Rudder and bottom paint

"REDEEMED CC"

Rudder and bottom paint

The rudder had no water intrusion, I was surprised because the seam was seperated. After making the new cutout for the nozzle the exposed solid resin was coated with 3 layers of cloth, (2) 6 oz. and (1) 17 oz Bi-Axiel

After grinding out the split to get as much new resin down the crack we're almost ready to glass things up and seal this brand new "OLD" rudder

With 3 coats of epoxy as a barrier coat we are ready for the paint, man I thought this day would never come............chuckle

We painted one side at a time, the reason was that we wanted the last coat of epoxy barrier to be tacky and bond with the paint, it's like shaking hands with someone and not letting go...............the paint and the epoxy barrier are one..............

I had to sit down and take a look at her, proud of what's been done, but still a long way to go.........one step at a time....
