Hi Dan!

Yes! It is for the hull and part of the deck! I have seen a nice picture of
a MadRiver Independence and I like the color soooooo much! :-)

I should post pictures of my boat? I don't think a moron (as I am in strip
building boats) like me should post pictures here between all those guys that
build such beauties! It will be mortifying enough to show you the final result!
:-( Maybe I will post one from far far far far away! :-)

If I paint the boat with acrylic varnish will I still be able to laminate it?
Indeed that would save me some money and I will be able to work the "normal"
way!

Best regards,

Heiko

: Hey Heiko,

: Is this the Aquarail project you were telling me about? Aubergine... Hehe...
: sounds fun. Unless you want the woodgrain to show why not just paint it?
: Most manufactures should be able to mix just about any color you want. If
: you want the woodgrain, dye the wood and then epoxy over it.

: BTW: When are you planning on posting finished pictures of your Guillemot? I
: know you're close! :)
