Hull works before finishing with epoxy

by | May 7, 2011 | Gluing, Hull

Before turning the hull upside down all painting jobs have to be done. At least 4-to 5 layers of epoxy covers are needed before the final polyurethane painting can be sprayed on. The last layers – directly under the outer painted layer – must be UV resistant or at least have some UV stable ingredients if available.

Before starting the final epoxy layers (gluing & sanding & gluing & sanding) all rough faults must be repaired.
