Top Tips

1. Do NOT use Dulux Difficult Surface Primer on epoxy...it won't skick.
2. To remove Dulux Difficult Surface Primer on epoxy rub with a scourer soaked in white spirit.

Reprimed the boat using Pre Kote (13UKP a tin at Trago Mills). What a difference! Pics to follow.

Delux difficult surface primer

The first coat of paint - undercoat next...although more sanding and filling will no doubt follow!

Gunwales - dry fitted

Decided to screw gunwales in place to allow for easy replacement in the future. Screwed in place and sanded to shape. Need to be removed to epoxy their backs before final refit.

Deck on and stained

Looking at a days work here...Bulk heads are now glued in place and decks fixed. Hopefully this will be all the buoyancy needed!
