Coat Three: White Again

Despite hurricane Andrew coming up the coast we get the third coat on today. It took about 3-1/2 hours.

While sanding isn't required between coats, the hard, little nubs of detritus require it.

We went through another two gallons today. Looks like the whole job will take 10 gallons; plus some to put on the areas the stands are currently covering. We changed out roller pans, roller covers and paint brushes between each gallon. On the last coat we didn't have to do this. I'm sure it's today's higher temperature that is making the difference.

Slowly working each barrier coat layer up towards the top of the bootstripe is working well. I was concerned about ridges in the boot stripe but sanding after each coat is smoothing things out.
