Re: Very Large Hull Indentation

Go sailing. It will pop out slowly over the sailing season. When you say "soft" what you mean is "flexes" this is common of large flat areas (similar to a car hood!). It's no problem at all.

Re: Low-Buck Dinghies- Lets See 'em!

Thanks.

It could be argued, that since I had half the epoxy left over, that it was under $300. :)

Re: Low-Buck Dinghies- Lets See 'em!

Here's mine. It's just over $300 unless I claim that I already had the epoxy. I think you should raise the limit to $400.

Re: Low buck projects- Let's see 'em!

BTW, if you don't want to use this low buck idea on your coloured navigation lights then don't.

Re: Low buck projects- Let's see 'em!

To understand what resistor needs to be added, you need to understand how an LED works.

For a conventional lamp, the current in the circuit will be determined by the resistance of the lamp, and...

Re: Low buck projects- Let's see 'em!

Yes. I used 68 ohms. I also had to file away the traces on the circuit board in 4 places. This value resistor was calculated based on the voltage drop of the LED's and the current of the LED's. I...

Re: Partially filling a void

I like your plan of filling with foam, hollowing out a void and then fill void with thickened epoxy. The foam won't absorb the epoxy because it's closed cell. Just use the foam sparingly.

Re: stripping deck paint--painful!

Both are possible outcomes. to prevent it flaking, prep is key. If the original non skid is still quite aggressive, it will probably not come out slippery. If the paint is "filling" the non-skid,...
