Glad to hear the weather is allowing you to get back onto this project. I look forward to seeing you finish the interior, rigging and get her back on the water.
Questions for you, please. 1. About how many sanding discs (in the finer grits) did you use for that length hull? 2. At what grit do you begin wet sanding? 3. What do you use for the guide coat? I have the the Mirka dry coat, do you prefer spray? Thank you very much. Everything you post is extremely informative.
Hello, I probably used around 7 discs each after painting I started with 800 then 1200, 1500, 2000, and sometimes 3000. Depends on how smoothly your painting rolls out. After the first 800 sanding the rest goes quickly. I prefer spray guide coat, it’s easier the put on.
Are you recommending one build up primer coat -- sand with 300 or 400 grit - apply 2 or 3 coats of topside paint? From there, should I wet sand in 600-800-1000, etc.. grits to a gloss finish or should I sand with 320 grit and apply one additional top coat like you did on the first side and then wet sand? Thanks - great videos and level of detail is excellent.
I was using a mole hair roller here and it just doesn’t roll out as smooth. I like to use a 3/16 nap from Sherwin Williams. Not sure the info on the roller. When I fine one I’ll show it to you.
