Roofing sucks.

 

[Darth Handsome]

That's right up there with roofing. Boy howdy.

A roofer coming back with this? Praise Jibbers.

Anyone else?

What's with the gardening crack, @Strings ? Are you a non-conformist or what?

 

[APRIL]

At least I beat him.

Did I put gardening? Shit ... I must have spelled "having babies" wrong.

You guys can't possibly enjoy doing this kind of shit. Stripping paint? Good god.

It's more fun that watching It dry. You get to play with chemicals and machines 'n' shit.

Try not to feel too sheepish. Like Ive been saying, this forum is rife with uninspired quipping.

You got a point there, Hips. Some guys here may not appreciate your intellect, but I do.

Alright Dudesquad.
This is the.... shit, I don't know, bowcap? hood? roof of the forecastle? for my boat. The lefthand side I sanded and it got 80% of the crap paint off. The right hand side I used paint stripper and it got 80% of the crap paint off. Anyone have any thoughts how to get all of it off? It's aluminum, roughly 1/16th of an inch thick, the inside has some mild corrosion from salt water, I was thinking about getting that side media blasted and then coat it with Zinc Chromate paint so I don't have to worry about future corrosion. I'm unsure if I want to do that with exposed surfaces though, as the exposed surfaces will be bare aluminum and will need to be at least partially pretty/might get polished and I don't know what sort of finish the blasting will leave.

Any thoughts?

Reading this instead of skimming it, why not use whatever you used on the sanded side to finish it off?

Was thinking grit fine enough to not dig up the aluminum too bad wouldn't be coarse enough to make easy work of the paint but again, no aluminum expert.

Sorry, I called the Dudesquad, not the whiny-baby-Canadian-nihilist squad

Dont get me wrong, good on you if you like this kind of stuff but tedious shit like that drives me bonkers.

Oh I fucking hate bodywork. But I don't have the money to pay someone to do it for me.
All my motors run, but they look like ass.

I think it's just me. I don't think there's enough to make a full squad. I don't personally know any other nihilists, anyway.

10-4.

Jehanuums keep the stripper wet and soaking then.

You could put a trash can in front of the net.

Years ago I worked in a discount body shop.....discount being the operative word. It is some laborious, tedious shit I tell you what, and we were taking every shortcut in the book and some that were never to be spoken of.

I'm surprised some of those jobs made it through a carwash.

Everything fits if you have the right tool.
