More paint removal on our Abaco Dinghy HENNING today. But first we spotted some turtles during our walk at Lake Mariner/Noland Trail, part of the Mariners' Museum complex.
Last week it was cool and windy, so we were happy to have a heat gun and a protected, sunny spot on the driveway for messing about with boats. Today the temp was in the mid 80s (F) with plenty of sun, so we found a shady spot on the Quarterdeck.
You may remember back in 2022, on a hot Summer day when Skipper abandoned me on the driveway for a shady spot behind the sheds. I followed her and sanded on the Pram EXCUSE ME while she laid out her plan for "The Quarterdeck."
Paint removed from two more sections today, so we are getting close to finishing the bulk of the removal on the interior. We'll make another finishing pass to clean up spots we missed and do some finish sanding on the thwarts, with 120 grit sandpaper. We are not looking for a shiny smooth, fine furniture finish for the interior, that has no place on a small boat, for one thing it is slippery. For another, that is too much glare. We prefer a satin sheen and a little bit of texture (grip) on the interior.
