1963 Alcort Sunfish CHIP 27 May 19 Bottom Paint Graphics

27 May 19:

Rolled CHIP outside for a bit because we can, and run some 120 grit over the primer.


Okay, in the daggerboard slot there was epoxy squeeze out and overlap from the new bottom panels. So we trimmed the bulk of it our with the DeWalt jigsaw, just carefully ran the blade flush along the inside of the trunk. Then shaped the curved ends of the slot with a ceramic tile file that has a half round side on it.





Penciled in the lines for the paint design, circa August 1949 LIFE Magazine.




Painted the boaw and stern with WetEdge Flag Blue. It went on smooth and covered well, but it is too dark to match the sail we are going to use.






First coat of TotalBoat WetEdge BluGlo White, brushed on with an angled sash brush. Thinned 5%.


Found a better color blue, Interlux Brightside Largo Blue, thinned 5% and brushed on.
