Project Log: Wednesday, January 1, 2014
I continued preparations working towards the final gloss
topcoats on the hull. During this round of work, I
vacuumed the hull and solvent-washed the surface, and
did a second round of cleaning on the shop floor and
elsewhere.

The existing masking tape line at the bottom of the
topsides represented the top edge of the bottom
paint. Now that the entire hull area was primed, I
needed to strike the top edge of the boottop before
continuing with the hull paint.
To get started, I set up my horizontal beams at each end
of the boat, supported by vertical posts on a couple
spare staging bases. To reset my benchmark (i.e.
the previously-struck waterline), I set the beams up
even with the masked waterline, and level across the
boat. I'd use this as a starting point to create a
new line some distance above, but that would be for next
time. |
