Glad they were of use. Just be extra careful and take your time with that keel when dropping it from the boat. Cramped quarters and a 500 lb keel and things can get crazy real quick.
I belatedly located all the lost footage of the Ispho application, table top epoxy and fairing steps. Sorry about that, but really all you missed was an old man fairing out compound in potholes and lots of sanding. lol.
Nicely done! That is a lot of work for something not(or rarely) seen. That keel weighs almost 500 pounds. Frank Butler would be proud of you! Why not do this on jackstands and not remove keel entirely?
Thanks, I think. I'm not sure you watched my video. My keel was removed entirely from the vessel. It was placed on large steel pipe saw horses when I took it down to the raw iron and then faired it. From there I hung it in the air for painting.
It really looks great! Would sand/media blasting have been a good thing if you had the equipment? I was thinking of purchasing some sandblasting equipment to do mine. I have zero experience.
Sand blasting is certainly a good idea. I used a sand blaster on this keel and a wire wheel at the start of the project. The sand blaster will allow you to get into tiny cervices that a wire wheel would have difficulty reaching. If you don't already have one, you can pick up a cheapie blaster on line or Harbor Freight. Just make sure you were a respirator as the media can contain stuff you don't want on your lungs.

Thanks Mathew. I'm about to pull my C22 keel to do the same thing. These two videos are much appreciated!

Nice job and great job putting the video together.
You're very welcome. Sorry for the late response, I'm missing comment notifications. I hope you found the video useful.
