Target Launch day two weeks.
After another day of continuous sanding, I took the opportunity of the warm weather to try painting again. This time I did it outside where there's more space. I warmed the paint beforehand and rolled and tipped it on. Let's hope there's not too many runs, sags and flies in the morning this time It was so difficult to stand back from the hull in the house to check the painting, and once outside in daylight the finish (paint and varnish) is just not good enough, so I'm rubbing it down to wait for warmer weather to recoat outside
Nice to be working outside in daylight. Sanding, filling, waiting (should have bought some fast hardener!). Then snow flurries started, so back inside it went .... Made a start on the mast and boom fittings
Back in the kitchen and first coat of Varnish on. I'm in a bit of trouble though ! this stuff's really smelly, doubt I'll be allowed to put as many coats on as I'd like :)
