Danusia Phase 2-25

Wednesday

I continued the paint removal sanding, eventually completing the aft part of the starboard hull, the counter, and the transom, and the last bit of the bottom, mainly the rudder and around the propeller aperture.

Below the rubrail, and in other tight areas around hardware, the sander could not reach all the way to remove the paint, leaving narrow bands of paint behind.    Now, I went around the hull with a detail sander to remove this final bit of the old coating, the last step before I could think about the finish-sanding phase of the prep work, which would be my task for next time.

Total time billed on this job today: 7 hours
