Re: TRAINING BOATS for the 2021 MARCH Boat Detailing Class
My arms may be numb, but I promise there will be a face of determination and a smile under that

I make it sound worse than it is, but this way everyone's prepared.

Re: TRAINING BOATS for the 2021 MARCH Boat Detailing Class
Quick question while I am remembering it -
Do you cover any gel coat repair processes in the class? I have had a customer call and ask about that.

I have had a customer call and ask about that.
I'm sorry to say but "no".
That type of technology would have to be a class of it's own. It's really a "dedicated topic".
Because you've attended my 3-day class, you know how intense my classes are. There's literally ZERO sitting time except for a few minutes for a quickie lunch.
You're going to find out that this boat detailing class is the exact same way. In order to include a class on gelcoat repair - I would have to add at least 2 more days. The first day of gelcoat repair would be the actual repair process and just as important the follow-up to the repair would be finishing-out the repair for customer pleasing results. We would have to wait for the polyester resin and catalyst hardener to fully cure, dry and harden before we could start sanding on it. In my mind's eye, I know the repair aspect, in a "classroom" environment, would take the first day. We would let the repair harden and dry overnight. This means a minimum of 2 days for gelcoat a proper gelcoat repair class.
Currently this is a 2-day class and by the time Sunday rolls-around... most of the class, (no you, you're in pretty good physical shape), but most of the class is going to be whipped. And then we start interior boat detailing and it's just as hard as outside boat detailing.
I could see myself teaching a gelcoat repair class in the future, I'm not sure how I would structure it though as it relates to the "days" to hold the class. When you start a formal structure class you have to take into consideration things like,
1: The day or days of the week the class is held.
2: Travel time for students to get to and return from the class location.
If a class starts on a Friday, the travel days are Wednesday and/or Thursday. This means people taking time-off their normal jobs. A two day class on the weekend means people making travel plans for the days before the class and the days after the class. Then their hotel coats, rental car coats, meals-on-the-road costs, the cost of the class.
It's a lot more complicated than most people would know.
There's a HUGE difference between a real structured class on any topic and some guys that have a Get-Together at some guy's home garage. I've done both types so all I'm saying is one type is a lot more intense logistically than the other.
Great question - thank you for asking.
