After many false starts and lots of sanding and cleaning I was able to begin masking and taping off for some paint applications. I ordered another gallon of the epoxy primer and two more quarts for the Yacht Enamel. The priming will continue through out this week. I may do the final coats on the cabin ceiling so I can peel off some of the masking a little sooner to let in more natural light. Getting into and
cutting in all the details in the cabinets takes a lot of time. I have to break it into smaller sections but there are lots of start and stop opportunities. Crawling into lockers and cabinets with wet paint is a messy job. I end up wearing a lot of paint. All of the lockers, cabinet under-berths and drawer/storage interiors will remain the white semi-gloss of the epoxy primer. The ceiling and all settee backs, shelves, etc will get 2 coats of the Yacht Enamel. The weather is great for painting right now. Mid 70's during the day and around 50 at night. This will only last a couple of weeks so I am trying to make hay.
It helps that Lillian has found a new place to do Homework, keeping dad company. Lillian has been given the entire forpeak cabin as her "room" on the boat. She is enjoying coming up with ideas on how she wants it decorated.
