May 17, 2007 I began the day by sanding all the ancillary deck hatches--forward hatch, companionway hatch, icebox hatch, and lazarette hatch--to prepare them for painting. I hadn't touched them yet, but now I needed to remove the old paint and molded nonskid pattern (as needed) so that I could prime and paint them to match the remaining decks. Next week, I'll mix up small batches of primer and paint and finish these hatches off. I continued on the boat afterwards, and masked off for the nonskid, carefully following the edge of the white Alexseal. |

Then, I cleaned the nonskid portions of the deck, and mixed up a custom color for the nonskid using a 1:1 ratio of Interlux Interdeck white and beige to lighten somewhat the stock beige color. Then, I rolled on the first of two coats of the Interdeck; as usual, the nonskid seemed to pull together the entire deck as a whole and make it look complete. |
