With all the varnishing now finished it is time to start the prep work for painting the hull & cabin tops.
After much scraping & sanding all paint has been removed from the hull back to the gelcoat. This was required as most of the original paint was not well adhered to the hull, no undercoat had been used & I reckon there was still mould release wax on the glass hull which would account for the paint peeling & chipping so easily.
Hopefully this time it will be better.
Half way there !
Well, that’s the hull stripped
Now just need to sand the keel & bulb smooth then give the hull a once over with Wet & Dry to clean up any remaining marks then it should be ready for the primer .
