Pete, Two gallons should be more than enough. I’ve always purchased two gallons and had nearly half to a third of a gallon left over. In non-racing application with a foam roller it has been sufficient. And this is on the full keel version. Best, Dave Godwin 1982 C 37 - Ronin 1998 Mast &

Two gallons shoud be right for the 37. My 34R is 35.5 long and has a 30 ft waterline and uses about 80% of a gallon per coat. 75% in cooler weather. 90% in hot weather. Chuck Scheaffer Resolute 1989 C 34R > On 08/26/2021 7:11 PM Bob Tallman via CnC-List > wrote: > > >

Pettit has a bottom paint calculator (here: Pettit | Quantity Calculator (pettitpaint.com)). When you enter L=37 and beam=12 (I am guessing), they claim that you need 1.2 gallon. But if you use the 450 sq ft/gallon, they claim you

Might not be sufficient.  My 121 (40') took one gallon to put on a thin coat, planning for just one season.I think you will need a 3rd.  I would buy it and see.  Better to have it than not.  You can return it.Also, will you be hauling each season, multi season requirement?Bob

I would say it should be plenty. The first coat will take more than the second Bill On Thu, Aug 26, 2021, 6:41 PM Peter McMinn via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Fist time bottom painting my 37. I bought the paint but now thinking 2 > gallons isn’t enough for two coats. Pettit

Stus-List Bottom paint gallons

Fist time bottom painting my 37. I bought the paint but now thinking 2 gallons isn’t enough for two coats. Pettit Trinidad (hard) label says theoretical coverage is 450 ft²/gallon. The 37 is 28’ at the waterline. 2 gallons more than enough or not enough? Thanks to all of the subscribers that

Stus-List Re: Replacing Cabin/Deck Balsa Core

Great pictures. I'm finishing a similar project. I too chose Balsa for core, because of it's superior bonding strength to resin. The grain of the wood literally wicks up the resin so the bond becomes ten times stronger than foam board. I took extra steps to seal the core and reinforced the

I didn't keep track of hours. The deck repair was a weeks or two of evenings and weekends. Then another two weeks of sanding, prepping and painting and more time for replacing the windows and reinstalling all the hardware and life lines. Including rewiring the mast, adding radar, designing,

Stus-List Re: Replacing Cabin/Deck Balsa Core

Agreed with others on not using expanding foam for this. I personally used balsa wood to replace the rotted core as it has the best strength to weight ratio and is pretty easy to work with. There are structural foams that can be used but most do not have quite as good mechanical properties as
