I find Hammerite on metals to be very resilient. The problem with it is that the timings for coatings are quite demanding as it must be left to cure for several days once it is finished. You must recoat within the period specified. The other problem is you really should use the special cleaner. Also, it is all expensive.

Has anyone tried the hard paints expressly formulated for hot radiators around the house?

What can I say B but another fine model completed, you will have to line them all on the bench and take a photo for all to see then another one with them all
in the water with the RCVR hanging from your neck working them all {-) {-)
The engine looks just great in the boat and without any ageing too..................is nick pleased with the work? Maybe he will add it too his website under customers boats!!! I think it would be
a worthwhile addition for publicity eh.

Keep it up kind Sir

Hi Everyone,

Wow. That really was a fast installation. You must have worked non stop for hours. It really looks great! My key board is drenched in drool now.

Very nice indeed.

I hope you are happy with your engine.

Best Regards,

Nick

The engine fits the boat really nice and seems to run smooth too.

What kind of boiler is that?

And how slow is the engine able to turn?

Bernhard,You do Beautiful work.

Could you be the one I tried to sell a boat hull to? I was unable to ship because it would be too expensive. It would have been shipping from the US.

 In any case your launches are works of ART!

Thanks, Jeff
