Re: PANDORA Percy Blandford Venturer
I looked at one a few streets away from me and concluded wouldn't be suitable for much down here, but the 90 year old who was selling his pride and joy said it was both fast (70s 25hp Evinrude Sportster), practical (his boys waterskied behind it) and capable in Southampton Water, where he ran it. Bearing in mind is a modified sailing dinghy it's quite an accolade.
Fasten bra straps and remove dentures...

Re: PANDORA Percy Blandford Venturer
Certainly looking great Neil - - is that a spray or roller job? (apologies if I missed it along the way)

Re: PANDORA Percy Blandford Venturer
she is sprayed.. i used to roll and tip.. but ive found that spray is such a better result.. and easy ... spray guns with 1.8mm nozzle are only 35 quid...
Re: PANDORA Percy Blandford Venturer
Do you spray your varnish as well? And do you use single or two pack products? Shall be starting a similar process on mine very soon.
