1965 Alcort Sunfish WAVE 11 Jan 2020 Second Coat WetEdge BlueGlo White

11 Jan 20:

Scuffed the first coat of paint with 120 grit, to knock down any bumps. This also flattens the sheen, making it easier to see where the new shiny paint is being applied and prevent "holidays" (missed spots). You can see the difference between the glossy area that has the reflection of the pergola and the flattened area this side of the sander.


120 grit, sold at Lowes. DeWALT 5 inch random orbital sander.


Personal Protective Equipment for today's sanding party. The respirators with exhaust valve help reduce fogging of eyewear. The shirt keeps paint splatters of our Sunday Finest.


Current occupants of the Carriage House, WAVE and the keel batten for the Pascagoula Catboat.


Left side painted, compared to the scuffed right side. The flat sheen helps see where paint has been applied so we don't miss spots, aka holidays.




Today's kit. Paint supplied by Jamestown Distributors, thanks TotalBoat!
