While preparing the topsides for paint I noticed a number of very small patches where I had somehow sanded through to the marine ply. There were twelve in all but all small so I marked them with a bit of tape and applied a coat of clear resin. Here are two of them.
When cured I sanded them flat through to a P220 grit.
Then I masked off all the rails using 3M 244 professional masking tape. This is it.
And here are the rub rails, toe rails and companionway grab rail all taped off.
The transom was a little trickier. I only need to paint the transom skirt but I didn't want to completely remove the protective sheeting from the whole transom.
So I just rearranged the tape on each quarter to allow the side panels to be painted separately, leaving me to paint the transom skirt later.
This is the port quarter.
We are very close to applying primer!
