    Epoxy and Flake

The guy who hooked me up with the stuff said it will stick to anything that is properly cleaned and prepped. I sanded everything with 60, vacuumed really well then cleaned with acetone before each coat. He told me that this product will flex with the hull and shouldn't crack, we will see LOL! The flake was big time experimental LOL! it's house of colors rainbow flake that is really small, it's non metallic, won't stick to a magnet. I did a few test runs on some scrap plywood and liked how it looked so I just went for it. The flake dispenser is a joke but works. It is a can of compressed air like you would use to clean your computer and a lil glass jar with a metal lid. I poked a small hole in the metal lid of the glass jar and stuck the straw nozzle from the air can in to pressurise it. Made a small brass tube that comes out the the top of the jar lid. A bolt in brass angled valve stem for big trucks would work. This tube was pinched squeezed and bent on until I got a nice uniform shot of flake to spray up and out when pulling the trigger on the air can. I taped the two together with electrical tape for one hand operation. This thing looks funny as hell but works good. I found out on the base coat that this epoxy wants to fire off kind of fast so you need to get it down quick and in the shade. The cool thing is that after you get at down you can move the boat out into the direct sunlight and the stuff will thin out and flow nice. The flake didn't really lay on top but seemed to bed it self down it the epoxy. You can run your hand across it and it's smooth, can't even feel the texture of the flake. I liked my flake dispenser so much I did my place diverter controller and gas tanks
    I know this was a long winded answer but I hope it was some help

    Randy,
    A friend has the Regatta but it's on hold for now, just an empty hull but when they start working on it I will post some pics. Did you know that the USCG has a hull ID database. You can enter the first 3 letters of your hull ID number and it will tell you everything about your boat. Who made it, where it was made, how long the company was in business, the years they were in business, the last known address and phone number. Really cool information, check out

Kind of wierd its on a placard under the dash Thanks Again I just love these old boats they just have style. Randy

    Cool 1975 glastron carlson

    These are pics of my 1975 glastron carlson cv19ss with the original 330 horsepower 455 oldsmobile engine with cosmetic upgrades and original interior except for the engine cover pad and original gelcoat. There is only 257 hours on it.

    Regatta

    Randy,
    The hull my friend has looks just like your boat less the windshield. The Regatta is really unique looking in the rear along the gunnel's. It looks like they flair down and away towards the water line in the rear. It's the only jet I have ever seen that looks this way, very different and very cool!
    Isn't it fun to have a rare boat that nobody else has

    Man that's a nice CV19SS
    My buddy had 2 of them, on kidding. One was running and nearly original and the other was a project boat. Hell, we just had a CV19SS stolen here locally. You know they are desirable, the one that was stolen was just a shell on a rusted out trailer! It had no engine, no pump and no interior. I love the old Carlson's, I have a CVX20 project in the back yard and have my eye on a GT150 project. Don't really want to build another 2 smoke but it's a cool old classic that needs to be saved

    Quick Sand was my buddy's project boat and it's still around, it's in storage in NC. Dig the pro stock scoop!

    This was his other CV19SS, 396 BBC, chopped and tinted windshield, stretched engine hatch and place diverter, we called it the 007 Jet!

    I just bought this boat last year and I am working on fixing it up. I need to find a place diverter so I can take it to the Florida Keys and squirt jelly fish up on to the seven mile bridge.
