When the white primer had hardened I sanded the entire upper hull with a P180 grit to remove brush marks, followed by a P220 to polish it smooth.
This is the starboard cockpit deck and seatback being sanded.
As stated in previous posts good lighting is essential for this. The work light in the pic is 30W and excellent for this purpose.
As usual despite great care I sanded through the paint in many places, especially on the edges. So I marked every bare patch with tape for touching them up. They would be difficult to spot when paint had been applied, so markers were essential.
This is the companionway hood.
It looks a bit sad right now but all will be well when the touching up has been done!
