The upper drop board had been painted with Epifanes primer and mono-urethane gloss to check that it did not blister when exposed to rain, which had happened to the original yacht enamel. Hence the repaint...
Left outside for some weeks, the Epifanes passed the test and the drop board was set aside.
Now that we were preparing for gloss it was time to re-prepare the upper drop board for fresh paint.
I wet sanded it with a P400 grit to obtain a perfectly flat and smooth surface.
This is what it looked like.
The work light highlights any imperfections, and the hairdryer dries the wetted surface to reveal any residual brush marks.
That didn't take long and the board was again set aside to await gloss. Hooray!
