Hi Brent. That's very interesting. I had some reservations about the Rhino
products being a viable solution, but reading that info about the Rhino "Hard
Line" seems to make good sense. With it's flexibility, It may be a good paint
solution for a sub hull. I'll be looking at that more as I get closer to the
painting stage.
I wonder what colors are available. I want my sub to be silver, but it's
not critical, as long as it's not "Yellow!!!" I get real tired of people singing
that damn song when they hear I'm building a submarine.
I got the side panels for my stainless ballast tanks back from the shop
yesterday. Man! they look good. The horizontal "breaks" in the panels look
similar to the slats on a wooden skiff, and I polished a small scrap piece of
the 12 gage metal. It came out just like chrome!
I'm not able to get pictures to load up on frappr any more. Not sure why,
so I'll have to get with Jon and get a space on the psubs site so I can get some
pics up.
I'll start fitting and welding the ballast tank pieces today, but it's
pretty complicated with the compound curves, so will take some time to complete
the tanks.
Thanks for the "Rhino" link. Frank D.
