White Primer | Application

Excitement was running high when I broke out the white primer!

Epifanes recommend that the primer be thinned from 5 to 10%, depending on the conditions and the experience of the painter.

I rather over did it. Here is the first coat on the starboard side.

You can see how patchy it is. And here is the result of adding too much thinners - curtains on the keel nose.

And again at the rear of the keel.

Yuk.

I then tried 5% thinners, and found that the paint dragged. So I tried 10% and that seemed to work well.

This is the third coat on the port side.

Looking good!
