Have made some changes to the rollers that the boat will move on , so hopefully it won't be as big a squeeze as the first time we did this .
Slowely she makes her way , a naked baby this one as the garage is too full of wood to allow me to wash her down and paint , so outside we go !
The changes i made to the rollers were sucessful , we had at least an inch of clearance this time , created steel L brackets that were attached to the main bulkhead that allowed me to lower the assembly closer to the ground .
And then , just like a normal birth , she rushed out to see the sunshine , but OOP's
Things come to a sudden stop , the new low-riders are low alright , a little too - low for the uneven concrete surface , ah-well , we are outside now . Time for Baby's first bath .
A quick wash and a rub-down , time to paint this baby .
Just a light coat of Hempel's Light Primer , this will make it easier to spot any inperfections in the finish so we can correct these with a bit of sanding or filler .
As with the other hull , this outside surface has the partial skin cover that allows for the rest of the side to be added later but with plenty of surface attachment .
The rest of the paint hasn't turned up yet so the additional layers of primer will need to wait .
