1953 Alcort Sunfish ZIP 14 Jun 20 Sand Paint and Epoxy Trim and Deck

14 Jun 20:

We used the new DeWALT 20V Brushless Random Orbital Sander to sand the rub rail, coaming, coaming backer and daggerboard with 120 grit discs. The sander did all of those bits on one 4ah battery.


Painted the rub rail and coaming backer strip with TotalBoat Wet Edge Fire Red. Applied a coat of West Systems 105 Epoxy Resin/207 Special Clear Hardener to the coamings and a second coat to the deck (but not the patch.)



West Systems sells the best closed cell foam roller cover to use with their epoxies, it is guaranteed to apply a thin coat and not melt and shed foam all over the work surface.


Fresh coat of epoxy on the mast collar also.
