Really nice water effect Ken. You say it's bathroom sealant, is that just plain old silicone sealer?. It looks great

Hi all well I've got this back out as Gandale (Alan posted an easy way to do the stays on this) (That's what's been scaring me from continuing this build) baring in mind this is my first attempt at doing them I'm quite chuffed with the result (obviously I've seen them done millions of times better but hey I can only get better from now on)   Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all got this out to do some work on it. There seems to be a problem with the cheap paint I used on the base (Not had this problem before) the base started off dk blue but over time it seemed to go brackish   Which I didn't mind too much as it just looks like dirty harbour water but worryingly it is doing this from the edges and seems to be progressing inward   Do you think this will progress, if so should I stripp it all off (assuming I can) then start again, any suggestions. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

That's a very strange effect on the base Ken. The fact that its starting at the edges and working in got me wondering if it is actually the base paint or whether it could actually be air getting in under the silicone and lifting the rubber away from the base? Might explain why its happening at the edges? Don't really know how to advise you on this one but if you're thinking of stripping it off and re-starting it again it might be worth waiting for the effect to spread in under the hull to make it easier to strip the whole lot off in one go.

Looks to me like the silcone is reacting to somthing. Was the base cleaned beforehand? It could be somthing on the base If it stays at the edges i would try triming the edge back and then painting the gap black??
