Today was a painting day - before the forecast of rain was to hit. So to that end, I began early with sanding the waterline first, followed by the balance of the topsides, by hand. I vacuumed the surface, and then wiped clean with towels dampened with solvent - changing towels often as I went.
The next few coats of the topsides painting will be sanded in between one another with an even finer grit of paper. Nearly all of the low spots have been addressed through the first three applications, and so through the final two to three applications, we should be achieving a very fine finish for Joule.
The weather was holding, and is still holding as I write this entry; with the windy conditions, the paint and solvent will flash off quicker as well. I'm not too concerned for the outcome of this application (4th coat), as there are subsequent coats to come.
Total Time Today: 3.25 hrs
