With the interior substantially complete and painted (although not without frustrations including a marked unwillingness of the paint to dry and my not being too pleased with the colour) it was time to turn the boat right side up and start the exterior finish. With the first coat of primer or pre-coat as seen in the photos in this posting the usual crop of defects not previously noted are now glaringly apparent. I can’t even begin to approach the last few bits of fairing and sanding until the paint is completely dry lest the sander become completely clogged. Ergo day of rest.
