Finishing
Sand the entire hull with 80.
Fill any dings, dents, craters, valleys or
chips with wood filler.
When dry, sand again with 180. Check
to make sure that all imperfections are
filled.
If not, fill and sand again.
Spend a little time getting this right, as it
will make your boat look so much better
when done.
Blow off the hull with compressed air, or
use a vacuum to get the dust off.
Mix about 1 ounce of finishing resin.
Use a credit card to spread out the resin
on the top and sides.
Squeegee as much as you can. Get a
thin even coat of resin on all areas.
Use a small acid brush to get the edges.
Scrape as much resin as possible. You
just want to wet the wood with resin, any
excess will just have to be sanded off
later.
This first coat is easy, as the wood will
darken as it gets wetted with resin.
The second coat will be a little more
challenging, but will use far less resin
and be faster to cover.
When you are sure that all areas on the
top and sides are covered, let it cure
overnight.
When cured, sand lightly with 80. Just
make it smooth. It’s ok if you sand
through the resin on this coat.
When done, blow the dust off and do the
bottom.
When the bottom is cured, sand with 80.
