<div dir="ltr">I didn't realize that the pressure hull was made up of three pieces of rolled plate. Wonder why the aft most piece is so short? Don't think all that heat put into the hull would be a good thing,<div>I had my sub sand blasted in pieces before they were all welded together which made it alot easier. I think the reason I did that was that the hull had been fully welded and then sat for quite a long time while life was happening and the steel might have been hazing due to it being located at my shop which was a block from the salt water. I made an enclosed place to blast it knowing that it would be messy out of 2"X4",s and visqueen but it failed about half way through from the air blasting out of the nozzle.. </div><div>A ton and a half is a lot of sand!

<div dir="ltr">Continuing work on the K-600 and this is the result of sandblasting (see attached photos). It took 10 hours and 3000 lbs of sand to complete with a 375 cfm compressor. I'm now putting on a primer of Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646 (color white).
The working time for the epoxy paint has been about half of what the spec sheet states. I'll follow up later with more details about the painting.</div>
