Never done or owned a Dean's kit but always fancied the D class MTB they do but it's pricey

I don’t seal it, it’s a pretty hard finish. Since it’s lacquer, it’s a “hot” paint, dries fast and hard. You can handle it in 15-20 minutes and I’d say it’s fully cured in a day. The military flat paints dry even faster😀

It looks like a good finish, do you seal it with any thing ,or dose it dry hard enough as it is?

Thought about that, but since I decided to stain instead of paint the masts stripping the paint off the brush handle would have been a lot of work. I came upon a way that works for tapering. I use a Dremel with a sanding band and rough the taper, then chuck the mast in my drill and finish it with sandpaper. Works okay so far. Thanks for the idea though, when I need a tapered mast that’s painted I might give that a go.

Find that cheap artists type paint brushes make a good base for a tapered mast

I have used old fishing poles for masts and flag poles in the past. The taper is already there. Just cut at the diameter you need. if you bump them they are very flexible. Very hard to break. The down side is you have to paint them to match you boat. Dave

Thanks Doug. Only time I almost lost my mind was when the errant drop of CA hit the hull😮 But, I’m still sane, mostly🤣 Again, thanks for the compliment, it’s appreciated!!

Trev, there was no fair maiden with champagne, but my buddy’s daughter, Ashley, took the video…and when I pulled up to park she was sailing her dads Micro Magic like an old hand…😀
She’s getting married soon, maybe the club can all chip in get her the new Hacker Micro Magic as a wedding present! Cash ▲

Ron, I was fortunate enough to not have to add any extra ballast. I had the same misgivings as you, so I got my battery as low as possible. Shes pretty well behaved so far.
Thanks for your comments, take a look ad the vid see what you think. Cadh ▲

Be sure to launch on a calm day. These smaller vessels don’t like choppy conditions, plus calm water will help you to see if ballast is good.
