Paint too thick. Weather too humid. Guess we'll try again.

This little elf got impatient and stayed up late!

Laid down the final coat of surface primer last week. Sanded the whole boat with 220 grit today. That was a lot of dust.

Brushes came in today - Corona Heritage. Tomorrow the first topcoat goes on. Still undecided if I am just going to paint the bottom and save the sides for after the hull is flipped, or just go ahead and do the whole thing.

One step forward, two steps... sideways? Nothing like painting on a can of primer, then sanding most of it off. Filled a few low spots with fairing compound. Will sand them today, then apply a few final coats of primer.

Applied primer. After months of sanding, it feels like I am finally making some progress.

Fairing complete... or as complete as its going to get. Applied the first of 3 barrier coats of epoxy this morning. Hoping to get the rest on tonight. Plan to prime later in the week... then more sanding!

This is my life now!
