The long finishing process has begun on the CLC Annapolis Wherry.
Since building my last boat, an Expedition Wherry, Interlux has stopped producing both their Perfection paint and Brightsides paint. But they've reformulated their Pre-Kote primer and their line of Toplac paints. Both now end with a "Plus".
Interlux Pre-Kote Plus primer is not supposed to go over clear epoxy though! Ugh... But luckily I had 1/2 a quart kit of older "Epoxy PrimeKote" and used that for a first layer of primer. It stinks to high heaven but does a pretty nice job filling low spots. It sands easily too... just wear a mask!
Next I rolled on a coat of Pre-Kote Plus. It went on easily enough and doesn't smell as bad, although you do still need to wear a mask both while rolling it on and sanding it off.
After two primer coats and two sanding jobs, I think it's now ready for paint.
Stay tuned!
