New Raymarine Quantum 2 installed today.

+1 sikaflex easy to work with. Use soapy water to smooth out.

I am going with chemical stripper. I was quoted 2100 to do a soda blast in Victoria bc. I never started yet. I am going on the hard on March 15. Hopefully I will be up for a week or so. I will updated on how it works out.

Thanks I will do that. I am hauling at canoe cove, so black line is in the yard.

Now I'm rethinking this.

I am unsure if I have a barrier coat at the moment. I was looking at pettit brand. It apparently only requires 3 coats instead of 6.

I am going to strip my bottom paint this March to remove years of bottom paint. Does anyone on here have experience doing it and what brand did you use. also do you need to barrier coat after chemical stripping. Thanks

I'm going to try epoxy first then varnish over the epoxy. I watch it on boatworks today on youtube. The results look really nice. I have lots of teak to try it on. So I will do some small projects to see how it holds. I am liking the varnish/ epifanes.

I started my window screens. Third coat of epifanes. 5 more to go
