white out

After applying four to six layers of Altex undercoat - more on the edges - we're back to the sanding gig. The garage and surrounding countryside has been covered in a fine white dust; you can probably find us on Google Earth ;o) .

After the first coats we found a pile of marks and holes that we hadn’t seen before. We filled them with one part filler and then ended up sanding a lot of paint off around them and re-coating. One sheet of plywood didn’t seem up to the claimed BS1080 marine standard, and we’ve really regretted using it. But looking at the finished product, hopefully you’ll never know.
