Correct, it does have to be pretty but avoid anything your fingertips can feel. Any small ridges will show thru. I have a few and they bother me

Re: Can anyone think of a build that ended with gray paint?
Hi Jwhitakeriii,
My boat HMD19 Penny (page 4 in Builders section) is painted with Pettit EasyPoxy Seattle grey with white topside (painted with Monstaliner); it has a cabin however but same colour scheme. The grey is similar to the S3 high build primer.

Glue gun is in the tool box; very useful for quick tack gluing until epoxy.

Re: Narfi's FS17 - Build Thread
Hi guys, When I had to clean up fillets prior to spraying Monstaliner, I used a rotary rasp chucked in a drill. These worked like a champ especially in tight corners. It left a semi smooth surface with enough teeth for the coating. That is the only tool I used after trying what you guys are. You get...
