Making mistakes and just arriving from Stupid Town - Timing Matters!!

This week we prepare the surface of the toe rails and cap rails on the boat for brightwork. I made a number of mistakes and in our typical fashion, the camera was rolling. So join me in my mistakes. Hopefully seeing what we do wrong lets you avoid doing it yourself. I hate to admit I need a bulleted list just to capture the dumbness. - Drove all the way to the boat and forgot the Awlwood Clear Gloss - Didn't apply the clear over the primer within the allotted window - The last mistake had me sand things back to bare wood again. The good news is that in this part 1 of the series you can see how we prepared the surface and the proper way to apply the primer and finish coats of Awlwood MA. While we made a mistake it also led us to the diagram and explanation in the video of a good way to break up the work and jobs into manageable sizes to ensure that the coats are laid in the correct order and with the right timing. To help with this challenge, we also put together a set of Excel and GoogleSheet tools that allows you to plan and record your job and ensure you have the right amount of time between coats. We also provide the application guides embedded in the tool to make it easier to cross-reference them and plan based on temperature and humidity when you are applying your finish. http://svdreamchaser.com/freestuff Don't forget to like and share this video Please check out our other videos as well and click on the playlist below for a couple we think you may enjoy.

Join us on our journey as we continue to rebuild, refit and prepare our Formosa 51 Sailboat for our continued cruising journey. We have always loved the Formosa, bought one (on a bit of a whim) late in 2014, moved aboard this one right away and started to do our refit while living board. We are avid fans of Cruising Outpost and Good Ole Boat (Good Old Boat) magazines and love the ideas we get from them.
