Before the hull dries out we wanted to get some beneficial oils into the wood, so we started applying oil based primer to the interior of the hull. Our finish coat will come from George Kirby Jr Paint Company, so we are using their primer. One question we had is how dry did the wood need to be, and George told us that if the wood absorbed the primer then it was dry enough.
HENNING was very appreciative of the primer, soaking in 2+ quarts on the first pass. We expected to use quite a bit, given all of the frames, risers and thwarts that needed a coat.
