Well, step 4, 5, 5 1/2, and part of 6 are done. I spent the better part of the weekend sanding, fiberglassing, and painting the push pole. I started yesterday afternoon with more sanding and then proceeded to add more fiberglass to the cracks on the foot end of the pole, and did the same ting again this morning. I sanded down the new glass and then the entire push pole to be ready for paint. Once the pole was all cleaned up and dry I added the first coat of paint. I soon realized that this is the part that I've been waiting for, the paint went on with ease (other then the nats that had to land on the fresh paint). But they'll come off with the sanding between coats.

So there you have it...Step 4 sand, step 5 glass, step 5 1/2 sand and glass, and finally on to step 6 with the first coat of paint.

Thanks God no more sanding fiberglass, I am sick and tired of the itching.

Well she's finally complete and I now have a nice 18' push pole back on the boat. I put the last coat of paint on the push pole this morning and everything looks pretty good. There are a few spots where the nats got to close before the paint had time to dry and there little legs got stuck in the wet paint. But I figure that after a few times on the flats those spots will blend right in with all the other dings and dents that are to some.

Well here is the final tally.....She took 4 coats of paint, 3 layers of fiberglass, a few coats of resin to smooth out and eliminate any air poc
