Chrysler 22 project update
Hello forum folks, thought I would post a few pics of some of the work I have been into lately. Getting pretty close to being able to go sailing. The second album is a fiberglass repair I did on the stern, where the backstay and stern pulpit brackets are mounted.Just click on all albums to view. Jeff

Makes sense and looks great!
I hope to be rebuilding my little 8'er soon and will be looking for final coat finishing ideas then.
My poor little saior has a couple of soft spots in the glass. I'll be grinding or cutting it out and reduing her thus requiring a new finish coat.
Maybe you should come up here and do it for me! LOL!

Like Alan said. They make special router bits for Formica.Jmckamey wrote:Thanks for the comment. As for cutting formica, first use duct tape over the cut line, next cut just a wee bit large, 1/8" or so. Then finish up with a router (with a guide), if you don't have a router, a belt sander will stand in nicely. Hope you find this helpfull. Jeff
Also, if you do not have a router you can score the line with a special Formica blade for a utility knife after applying duct or painters tape.
