Painting the hull

Last weekend we went up North to work on the hull of the Peapod and some more tasks around the cottage.

First of course a good sanding of the epoxied hull. Followed by protecting the sheerstrake with masking tape and paper.




After the first coat of off-white poly urethane paint several uneven spots on the hull became apparent that were hardly noticable with the clear epoxy coat.

As I had the epoxy filler paste back home I just applied the second coat and afterwards removed the masking tape.

At one spot the masking tape had not been applied correctly apparently as there were some paint spots on the sheerstrake.

Next time I will apply some filler paste on the questionable spots before putting on one or two more coats of paint. 

Als still some patience before the Pakesizzer will make its first trip.
