Congrats Brian!! We need photos.Good advice about protecting yourself from concrete. It's such a common construction material these days that we often forget some of the less known dangers associated with it.

Gentlemen, I now have a submarine ! Well, sort of, I finally completely finished plastering all parts of my boat. At the very least I can now use this as an ambient sub using scuba gear and even with no propulsion it could function as a glider sub. Word to the wise, always protect your hands when using cement, I would have had my completion date move up a couple of weeks if I hadn't injured my hands from the caustic action of the cement ! Really stupid of me, guess I got caught up in the moment! One area was very hard to get to I was using my hands to get the cement up in there, I paid dearly for that ! I would recomend coating your hands with vasiline or equivilent, latex gloves, and then cotton gloves over that. Anyway I got it done ! Brian
