Flipped CHIP, ready for deck paint. Ser No. 11501 = 1963.
40 grit on a DeWALT random orbital sander to get rid of the paint and primer remnants. Hooked up the shopvac with a HEPA filter to capture most of the dust.
Found the location for the splashguard.
Made a template to record splashguard locations and a pattern of the splashguard.
While the sander was out we cleaned up the daggerboard, mast step and splashguard.
Primed the deck with TotalBoat Topside Primer. We had a partial can of gray and 2 cans of white, so we mixed the white with a can of gray to stretch it.
Laid out the deck graphics and made a pattern.
Interlux Brightside Largo Blue, thinned 5%, brushed, for the bow and stern.
Bleached the daggerboard with straight Clorox, let it dry overnight, it came out great, and part of the deck is clean now!
Our new favorite varnish, TotalBoat Halcyon Rugged Amber Gloss. One hour between coats, no sanding, soap and water clean up. What I really like is the Pour Pack, pour out what you need, squeeze out the air and it stores great. We like 2-3 coats, primarily for protection. We have not tried 6-8 coats like some folks do with other varnishes, so we don't know how well it builds.
First coat of TotalBoat WetEdge BluGlo White, brushed 100%.
