I have a '75 Glastron Carlson CV21 with a 650HP Olds 468. I am in the process of replacing the stringers and repairing what the previous moronic, incompetent owner attempted to repair. I was recomended by a friend and have seen on other forums, to use West system epoxy to bond in and then cover the new stringer.

Any recomendations, advice, or warnings on this topic?]]>

I have just started doing research on how to go about doing this.

So far from what I have gathered, I am thinking the best route to take will be to buy 1 Gal of Yacht Primer, and 1 Gal of Black marine paint.

Then I am not sure what paint to use next: I need 7 additional colors, 6 for the rainbow plus white. I cannot buy a quart of each color, that would be getting WAY too expensive, plus way too much paint for what I need. A pint would probably be the size I need, but I don't think I can buy that small. Would using Rustoleum or some other kind of enamel paint work on top of marine paint?

Then to seal it, I was thinking I could apply a Clear Topcoat over the entire canoe to seal it all together? Or should I carefully apply it over ONLY the Rustoleum paints? I had read something about how you cannot apply Gel coat over anything other than fiberglass, otherwise it will crack or something? Or is that different from Clear Topcoat?]]> I paint wall murals for a living and someone asked me to paint The Dark Side of The Moon prism theme onto his fiberglass canoe.

Mix 12-15 drops of hardener per ounce of Gel Coat (10-16 cc per quart / 40-65cc per gallon)."

I know it is ultimately our fault for not mixing enough hardener, but please consider revising this statement in the instructions. It is easy to read this as 12-15 drops being an ounce. ie 3-4 drops for a 1/4 oz. needed to mix up a pint.

Anyways, that is how we read it - and ended up painting a quart with the wrong mix - obviously, it didn't cure and I had to buy more. $50 and 2 hours labor mistake.]]> "Shake and stir container thoroughly before using.
