Preping the Prep

With all the gear removed from the deck and cabin top, there was no soaked core but still some minor crushing. All of the holes have been filled and the low spots faired out. Lots of sanding, taping and cleaning, washing, sanding, fairing, washing, etc.



First of 2 coats of high build primmer were pretty much sanded off, washed, sanded, washed, etc. The third coat has become the base for the new paint. It feels smooth but each time I go over it I find something else. When you put on the primer it is glossy and the imperfections are evident. After it has dried it is a more matt finish and the errors are less visible, making it harder to go back and find and repair. Very dirty work using the gray colored primer.
