1. How much weight are y'all adding to this boat in fairing?

   If I understand correctly, this hull was produces with a single sided mold, vacuum resin transfer process. That gives you one fair surface right out of the mold, but then you have to do all this fairing work to fix the other surface, exacerbated by the fiberglassing you've been doing to assemble the thing.

   Does anyone mold both inner and outer surfaces, with an airspace between them, so they can do all this fairing work just once on the molds?

2. When I built my experimental airplane kit at home it took me 4 1/2 years. Everyone laughed with the joke, “90% done, 90% to go” they were right. The finishing of a project is hard due to not seeing big steps in progress. Keep at it, it’ll be worth it in the end……but I’ll never do it again. Your boat will be beautiful when done and worth the blood, sweat and tears.

3. Now that you’re using a spray gun have you thought about using spray putty?. This would speed up your process greatly. Another tip if you’re running out of air is to get a second compressor and and a stand alone air tank and run two compressors into a main tank, never run out of air again. Looking good!.

4. this so brings back memories– death by a million details-this is where you wish your boat was 15 feet long…. You do realise that you are NOT building a boat? You are actually making dust- and one of the by-products just happens to be a boat….

5. Try hiring a airless Sprayer unit to try one out I have had better experience with epoxy paints with them. They have a much wider range of nozzles available.

6. Why use click bait? It isn’t necessary.

7. Great attention to detail. I always enjoy when you step back and we can see just how much progress has been made. Amazing!

8. the d.a. sander does come with a hose and dust collection bag that fits over the back of sander where the air/dust comes out…saves hours of cleaning up

9. Quick tip, add a little bit of color to your next coat of primer, when you sand it shows up any low spots.

    Hi there I’m painted and renovated for 50+ years and tripped over this video yesterday on how to decant paint from a large can. Absolute winner. Will use and share this from now. Hope it helps . Love your channel. Look forward to every new video !

11. Hi guys, Matt one suggestion for you, slip down to your auto parts store or hardware store and pick up a liter or quart of real cheap Chassis Black, thin it right out and dust a really light coat on your primer, when you sand it will show up all of your low spots really easily, this is called a Guide coat and should be applied before sanding any surface, it will show deep scratches and low spots, It will make sanding that little bit easier if that's possible, I'm an old spray painter from way back and used to sand back over guide coat with 400 wet, Guide Coat you can look it up, you can also bye the stuff in powder form but it's pain in the ^%* to use, Your doing a great job so all the very best to you both, Al

12. I have to admit, I went through your refit on Elements, your sailing adventures with Elements and all the way up to today. I don't think I can watch anymore sanding and fairing and priming, etc. However I'm two years in on this build and I really like you guys and this is how you survive, viewers. So I'll stay subscribed and check for adventures that take you away from the build, if they happen.

13. A spray gun is not a magical wand, in my experience ( 40 years of composites) a roller drives the primer in to the pinhole’s much better and and more efficient than a gun.

14. Great progress! Keep rolling along MJ sailing team! 👍👍

15. I know there's only so much content you can produce about these stages of tge boat project but this one was a bit boring live tge channel and yall so take this as constructive criticism not hatefulness

16. Once you can have everything one color, that is going to make a huge difference. You will almost think that you are almost done. Almost.

17. i think your tip is to small.

18. I bought 3 different spray guns when I was spraying my last boat and I ended up finding out that the cheapest old school spray gun from home depot with the pot on the bottom of the gun sprayed 200 times better then any of the other guns I used. It was even way better then a 500 dollar gun the paint supplier told me to use. The home depot cheap gun was like 29 bucks. Might be worth trying

19. Have you used any Flow-Coat, paintable gel coat that flows out smooth and professional. Final coating?

20. I can only imagine the dreams you both must be having

21. That is spray guns mate, never the same experience twice in my experience. Great to see you using the DA Sander, so much more efficient and a far better result than a straight orbital.Great progress,Ross

22. For me, at this point, sanding would be a torture level 11 out of 10. You guys are some tough cookies. I just hope at the end of all this that you are MORE than happy with the finished boat.

23. Sorry, but now I'm unsubscribing and stop following you. Now it's just too much Total Boat advertising, understand you need the sponsorship but this was the limit for me.
    Thanks for these years, and continued good luck with the project.

24. very little is left and you will surf the oceans

25. what is the cost to go from 90% to 100% perfect?

26. In a previous video you mentioned that you have gone through a couple of sanders. Was there any plan to control the dust/sanding by cyclonic separator (hooked up to sanders) and vacuum with an hepa air filter (for general air filtering) for inside the boat and inside the tent? (2 different systems)
    Did you consider industrial grade sanders (festool, mirka, 3M (cubitron) with associated sanding discs) that can be attached to an filtration system? I know they are more expensive, but with a cyclonic separator and hepa air filtration system, it would keep the air cleaner, saving you time in clean up and the spreading of dust around the boat. Sorry if I am using mostly woodworking brand names. For me, I been watching alot of woodworking videos and most channels recommend a cyclonic separator before vacuum (the end filter can go as low as 1 micron or better), this takes care of the tools producing sawdust. An additional shop filter (hepa) makes sure the shops air is filtered and picks up microscopic dust in the air.
    Break dust collection down into:
    1. for the tool (with cyclonic separator and vacuum),
    2. for the space you work in (hepa air filter), and
    3. option if you have a vacuum with more than 1 hose connection, use second hose for space.

    As for type of sanding discs, some have better dust collection due to design of the disc allowing particles through disc to exhaust port.
    I thought I would mention this, as it seems like for the last 2 months that you guys have been busy sanding and sanding and sanding….and the mess.
    What about inside corners – making sanding blocks?Make a template out of cardboard and transfer to 4/5 inch piece of wood. it will standardize the rounded inside corners.
    What was the highest number (sand paper) for fibrglass, gel coat, priming paint epoxy, and final paint. 80, 120, 180, 220, 320, 400?
    Is there a difference between walls and ceilings? Floor paint? non skid or something else?

27. My cup of coffee reads "Trust the Journey". Your journey is awesome to me. Thank you.

28. Too big of a tip for the thin spray?

29. Awesome job Matt, the insides look perfect.

30. I’m curious to know if you counted the number of hours to assembly the different parts of the boat and those to prepare the paint ?

31. Soup ladles work an absolute treat for transferring paints. You can set them up to drain with a magnet and I always wrap the handle in cling film or masking tape so sticky gloves aren't a disaster .. . ….

32. Great work guys, the 'travellers glow' is well and truly gone though😢

33. Well done guys! Great work!

34. Making awesome progress!!!

35. Your show is awesome. Showing everyone the steps of building a cat from scratch, the work, planning and skills that go into it; its very educational. I did see that you were using the TB dewaxing solution and just wanted to mention that i had an issue with my batch recently. I am in California and cant get denatured alcohol to prep with, so I used the same dewaxing solution you do. This was not an issue until i sprayed top coat. I wiped everything down let it dry and sprayed, only to get a number of fish eyes in my top coat. This was caused by the dewaxer still off gassing threw the paint. I did a few test and every time i used the TB dewaxer I had fish eyes in the paint, even when i let it dry for an hour. This was not the case when I used other solvents that i had in my cabinet. So if you are going to paint over the high build primer, do some test areas before wasting time and money. I did not try it with gelcoat. Just thought I’d pass it on.

36. 😎

37. Tony & Susan here in Michigan. More sanding, we are praying you get to the end of sanding. Wishing you all the best>

38. It’s looking awesome can’t wait to see the finished product

39. 동영상을 여러개 봐도… 정말 고생하네요. 얼굴에 고생한 티도 많이 나고… 나라면 저리 힘들게 할 수 있었을까 싶은데…
    좋은 결과 있기를 바랍니다.

40. Jess does a great job with the music

41. 👍
