What, Sanding Again?

Not sure why but we both thought sanding the Interlux filler would be easier. Actually it did come off easily enough, it was just that there was so much of it. Being up-close and personal also helped us spot more areas requiring fill. We used a 5" random orbital with 80 grit and a 7" angle grinder with 60 grit. Hands down the better tool was the angle grinder. Dust covered Nellie yet again, so the last job was to wash her with soap and water.

The idea now is to make each coat of Interlux 2000E 1/2" higher up the waterline than the previous coat. The last coat will be about 1/2" below the top of the bootstripe.
