Winter 2008-2009 Refit | Saturday, January 10, 2009
I began my immediate painting
prep by solvent-washing all the areas where needed to
install masking tape, to remove a light layer of dust and
ensure that the tape would stick properly. Then, I
spent several hours masking around the nonskid areas and
hardware as required, after which I vacuumed and
solvent-washed the entire deck to prepare for the first coat
of nonskid. I was sorely tempted to apply the first
coat today, but it was later than I wanted and I figured it
was best to wait till tomorrow rather than rush things now. |
