02 Nov 25:
We sanded the interior primer today, to knock down the fuzzy bits that that popped up when we applied primer over bare wood.
I say "we"....Skipper Skippervised from the deck chair. I kept telling her that there was plenty of sanding to go around, don't be shy. Lots of nooks and crannies too. She didn't fall for it.
Found remnants of a broken screw and vise gripped it out of the frame.
We used 120 grit discs on a DeWALT 20V random orbital sander when we could get to big spots, and hooked up a dust collection system (Dust Deputy and ShopVac).
Since the planks are so dry we have some gaps. There is caulk in the gap, and on the inside seam we will put in some sealant to protect the backside of the cotton. The planks would swell if we left the boat in the water for several days, and the sealant remains soft enough to get squeezed out.
We got about 2/3 of the inside seams filled, and we cooked dinner...I say "we"...Skipper cooked it and I ate it :)
