Second Coat on Hatches
Mar 20, 2026
I took a bit of time this afternoon to get the second, and what looks to be the final, coat on the underside of the hatches. I started by sanding with 320-grit paper to scuff the surface, followed by a quick vacuum of the surface and an acetone wipe down to prepare for additional paint. I poured a small cup of the TotalBoat paint and brushed it on to secure a good second coverage of paint. It appears that I have reached a finish point on the hatches, which now can be secured back on the boat: the cockpit seat hatches and the companionway slide hatch.
Total HRS: 1
