Ivan,
How did putting the jib car track back on go? I pulled my starboard track and re-bedded it and the 4200 oozed out all over the place and I had to spend a few hours scraping it out before I could run the car across the track again (and it is still funky in places). It also took me many hours of cursing and crunching into un-human positions to get the nuts back on the bottom of all those fasteners because there is less than 1 nuts worth of clearance between the bottom of the screw and the top of the side of the hull in some places and less than a finger between the bottom of the deck and the top of the side of the hull in others. I am dreading a repeat performance on the port side but that one is leaking too... Hopefully you found the magic tip that makes it go back on in an easy afternoon and not be all screwy when done!

That's what started my 'little project', I had several persistent leaks coming in from jib car track. So I needed to rebed them, and there were some other potential spots that I could have leaks coming in, so I decided to rebed all of my deck hardware. So it all came off and I couldn't think of a better time to give her a new look, so I decided to do the painting with this project. The prep is just like any other painting project. Sand and fill to the desired finish. My gel coat was shot so I didn't care how far down the sanding took me. Then clean with acetone and paint, sand, clean, paint, sand, clean, paint. Then I mixed in some antiskid material and put two more coats on any place I could step on. I didn't sand in between the coats, and it came out looking great. So hopefully the boat will be drier and safer this season when she goes back in. I used Interlux Brightside and an interlux antikid additive. Lots of work, but she looks great! We'll see about the dryness thougout the season : ) Hope this helps! -Ivan --- On Thu, 6/11/09, John Gilmore <[email protected]> wrote: From: John Gilmore <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IC27A] Finishing filled holes?

I have a 1973 c-27(H-929) and I need to rebed all the hardware and also fix a few soft spots where the chaulk needs replacing. I was hoping to be able to attemp this without taking down the mast, but I will most likely do so. ________________________________ From: "deweyweekender@ yahoo.com" <deweyweekender@ yahoo.com> To: ic...@yahoogroups. com Sent: Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:30:17 PM Subject: Re: [IC27A] Finishing filled holes? I just painted my whole deck with a one part enamel. Came out looking good, but I don't know how well you will be able to match the colors. ________________________________ From: "badfishy01" Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:23:33 -0000 To: <ic...@yahoogroups. com> Subject: [IC27A] Finishing filled holes? I'm removing some gear PO's have installed. I'm familiar with epoxy filling but how do you finish off the job making it look right? For instance there's a flexible solar panal mounted in front of the mast. I want to remove it and fill the holes. After filled what do you paint with? Gel coat or something else? I want it to look as if there never were holes there? Thanks Brandon Snider Charleston SC 5886
