Upper Drop Board | Wet Sanding

 Way back last year when I started repainting the boat with Epifanes paint I made a test piece by finishing the upper drop board and leaving it outside in all weathers to see how it coped.

It was fine, except for some marking where chalk and salts from the rain had left marks on the surface of the paint.

This was because I had not left the paint to cure for long enough before exposing it to the elements.

In a spare moment I started to wet sand the drop board with a P400 grit, just to see what would happen.

This is it in progress.


The marks disappeared, leaving a lovely flat and smooth surface for the final coat.

So all is well with the new paint.
