Glass is in..

Post by Bob H. »

Thanks to Harry Babb who made a special trip to help celebrate my daughter Kylee's wedding to Josh Campbell...while he was here I put him to work and we put the glass in the cabin with sika flex 296 900psi, then backfilled with 295 sika flex...BH

Getting there my freind !!!

You must have had a hell of a job , getting rid of all the sikaflex remains on your hands prior to the wedding ...

Nice job !

Regards Gert

Bob,

All that work must be keeping you young I had no idea you were old enough to have a daughter getting married. Congrats on the wedding and the boat.

Ha! ! The Sika Goo......that stuff is not so bad and pretty easy to manage.

Bob used the Sausage Loading system which made it very easy and extremely clean.

Now the Activator and especially the Primer is a different story......a drop of the Primer will completly cover a 31 foot Bertram topside.....ask us how we know.....Ha

Bob.....I see that you cleaned up my "Primer Mess" before you took the pics......that stuff will drip and run before you can say Boo! !

The pics are impressive but you guys have to see "@&%!?^E" in person to really appreciate all that has gone into her........I can tell ya its like the old car commercial says......."This ain't your Dads Bertram"

Congrats on the wedding. You and your bride will enjoy cruising around in the AC cabin.

Boat looks great (come to Texas and work on mine!!!) Pays is all the burritos & beer you can handle.
