Prepping Topside Hull Seams


Now that the bottom was done, the owner decided to proceed with topside paint. To do a proper job, any paint job requires careful and well-considered prep. For wood boats like Legacy, it is suggested that all the seams between the planks be reefed out, sanded and re-sealed with a flexible epoxy-based compound. This not only assures a good seal, but will give the painters a good, stable surface to work with. This is a little detail that will contribute greatly to the appeal and longevity of the final paint job. We're hoping to get this started today and finished tomorrow. We're anxious to get started with the final prep and painting while the weather window is still open.
