A small edge of rust had started to appear at the top of the boat recessed panel and was annoying me so it was sanded back to bare metal and given a coat of primer followed by two of undercoat. Four days ago I applied topcoat. To my annoyance there were brush marks in the paint so today it was masked for a third time,sanded smooth and give yet another topcoat.
Well the brush marks aren’t as bad this time but the paint colour is two tone so I obviously didn’t stir it thoroughly. Looks like there will be a third topcoat tomorrow. I might have done better to leave the few spots of rust.
Rather than continuing with further painting failures I decided to do something about the faded stern tunnel bands. After cleaning them I used T-Cut to removed the faded and oxidized layer. If they still look good tomorrow I’ll apply some polish. Polish! I had to visit the chandlery and purchase yet another bottle of Craftmaster polish. Six years ago we should have bought shares in the company.
