Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Back Again Another Day! So, if it rains today and tomorrow, then it will have rained everyday for two weeks straight, which means there is still no varnishing going on. I'll update if we ever get a reprieve. If the rain keeps up, though, at least I've got a boat, right? Sunday, September 6, 2009. Epoxying the New Deck. So today, I began with the following:. And, after several hours, the new deck is finally adhered to the old plywood deck.

Sunday, May 31, 2009. Below are some pictures of the sanded floorboards and brackets supporting the removable floorboards. The floorboards are 1/2" thick Western red cedar and the brackets are about 3/4" think. As I've mentioned before, I intend to modify the floorboard setup as well as remove the brackets. I'll let you know what I decide in time. For now, enjoy them being back in the boat. First the supports looking fore, then aft. Saturday, May 30, 2009. Thursday, May 28, 2009.

Delta Snipe: July 2009
http://deltasnipe.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 25, 2009. So, I finally finished priming the interior. I just wanted to do one light-medium coat because the previous paint job was in pretty decent shape. You can still see a little green paint coming through, but a couple of coats of the topcoat and you'll never know what lies underneath. Next, I'll lightly sand with 220-grit paper and then began the final painting process. Completing the Primer Coat. 1 Putty any remaining voids and sand flush. 3 Vaccum out the boat for any new debris.

Delta Snipe: July 2010
http://deltasnipe.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010. So, more sanding today, just another round, and honestly I don't know how many more there will be. Everything that I have read has said that you can't sand too much and I'm beginning to agree. Today, I knocked out a little over half of the deck; I'm still playing around with about 30 plugs because I don't like the way they look or they keep popping out and whatnot. I'm still working on tightening down the deck in a couple of places, but all in all, things are progressing.

Wednesday, September 8, 2010. More sanding and plugging. The plan is to start in the middle and do a section, let it dry and inspect. After which, I will continue outward until the deck has one coat. Then a thorough sanding, more varnish, more sanding, etc. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). US Snipe Sailing Association. More sanding and plugging.

Sunday, August 23, 2009. Dry Fitting the Deck (One Last Time). Today, I re-sanded the old plywood deck roughly with some 60-grit just to knock off any rough spots, stickum from the masking tape, and any paint that may have found its way onto it while painting the interior. So until tomorrow.ah, the suspense. In the meantime, take a look at the last dry fitting of the deck. Friday, August 21, 2009. Monday, August 17, 2009. Sunday, August 16, 2009. So, today I painted!
