PT11-56

Friday

Using the correct product (primer) this time, I painted the inside of the aft hull section.  The paint was quick to flash off once applied, which led to many lap marks as I struggled to work my way logically through the whole section, which process was admittedly more of a challenge than I’d expected (and I’d expected a challenge).  However, I got coverage everywhere, which was the goal, and since the boat would be sanded before any further work, the lap marks didn’t matter at this stage and frankly couldn’t be avoided despite all efforts.

I painted the face of the forward bulkhead, and also the transom, since these areas would be primed later anyway, and it made sense to do them now.

Meanwhile, I continued the daily buildup of varnish on the tiller, the byproduct of my other project.

Total time billed on this job today: 1.25 hours
