Thats It, hide your eyes - I'm going to strip!

[prohandyman]

Thank you Aunti M
I hadn't plan to take it, but I just might , to Scott's (jst83) winter camp-out in January. It has come along faster than I thought it might due to my work slow down. Aren't you supposed to take them out on the initial voyage even if they aren't finished? I couldn't have done it without all the help from this forum!

Dan..it looks great!!! What are you thinking for the finish? spar varnish, poly or auto clear?

That's one trailer would like to see in person!!!

I was thinking automotive, but my wood working store had a sale on spar varnish and I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to try and spray it on.

[Juneaudave]

Spar is always a good bet...I've vaguely heard of poeple spraying it but something in the back of my mind keeps saying that it wasn't the easiest to do. Steve F. uses a spar poly (Helmsman, I think) out of a gun and reports good durability, UV, and ease application. If I ever get that far, I think I will try the auto clear for a couple reasons...I've never shot it and thought it might be a kick, and I've had this kayak site bookmarked for several years that inspires me to try to do it Toquanatch Creek Kayaks

One thing about spar...it's a proven commodity. And people who know how to use it sure get good results!!!

I'm gonna go with auto clearcoat for the simple fact that everytime I turn around... I'm reading one of Roly's posts about sanding and varnishing.

Thats one sharp looking TD. I hope you like to talk, cause I know you'll be getting alot of comment and questions on that great looking TD. I bet you also canoe??

[prohandyman]

Yea, you could say that...

Any plans for a canoe rack on the tear, That would be a great look going down the road and sitting in the campgeound

[prohandyman]

I am planning on a luggage rack, but carrying the canoe wouldn't allow the hatch to open (its 17 1/2 ft long). I can always carry the canoe on the truck rack and set it beside the tear at the camp site.

True enough, I started to say you could take it off the top when you got to your destination but there's no way you can get from point A to point B without opening the galley to show it off.
