Brian,
I'm not sure what your asking. My conning tower and
hatch cover rings are 25 inches in diameter. The hatch cover is
dome shaped steel about three inches high. I guess that's what your
asking. If I placed the hatch cover on a flat surface, the top would be
about three inches high. The hatch is 3/8 thick. The ring it's
welded to is 5/8 thick.
Thanks! I painted it. I sprayed it at a friends
shop. He has a high paint booth and a small crane to handle the sub
with. The paint wasn't cheep. I used a two part epoxy
primer and a two part epoxy paint. Epoxy paints are sprayed on
all the time. Most auto paints are now two part epoxy paints but they all
use a base coat with color, then clear coat over that. The paint
I used on the sub is called Imron. No clear over top. It
has color all the way through. It's really tough stuff but
expensive. Between primer, paint, thinners and hardeners for the sub
and trailer, I have $400 in materials.
You have a reasonable amount of time to paint and clean up,
but you can't save any left-overs once you mix it. By the next day, it's
rubber in a can.
