Project Log: Saturday, November 23, 2013
By machine and hand as needed, I sanded the finish
primer on the pilothouse, coachroof, forward bulwarks,
and cockpit coamings with 320 grit paper. At the
edges where I'd masked off the cabin trunk and
sidedecks, I removed the tape and masking paper
feathered in the paint edges left by the masking; I'd
overlap the next rounds of primer.
Afterwards, I cleaned up the worst of the dust, leaving
final vacuuming and cleaning till next time. The
contrast of the white primer (which still had plenty of
gray in it compared to pure white) against the original
gelcoat color still visible on the cabin trunk and decks
highlighted just how gray the original surfaces had
been.
