Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Thanks John and Jim for the suggestions, I just got in and read them. A little late though, because I already bought the premixed drywall mud and used it today.

On the way to the shop it occurred to me that there was no reason to scrap the foam base that is there. It is not going to shrink any more, and it has all these sharp resin points all over it, making it perfect to hold some of the drywall mud on top of it. So, I went to Home Depot and got 5 gallons of it ($ 5 for one gallon or $ 10 for five gallons.......a no brainer) Good thing I did, becuase I used about half of it already and will have some touching up to do before it is over.

I got the initial top coating on and it went pretty well. No doubt it will take a while to dry, but that is ok, I am in no hurry. I have lots of other things on the car to keep me busy, and I am going to make sure it is rock hard before I go on. One good thing about Florida is that it won't take long for the heat to dry it. It was almost 90 in the shop today.

Here are some shots of how it covered the foam.
