[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 157673, member: 1417"] I finished filling the last of the holes this morning. I will grind and sand either tonight or in the morning and then get ready for the final sanding. For those of you who have painted boats before, should I wait to wash the surface with acetone until just before I am ready to paint? I'm not sure when and where I can paint as I have no garage or shed to do it in. I think it was either perchin or dyeguy who posted a pic of a temporary tarp shelter he used to paint under. That's probably the best option. I want to get the primer on soon to protect all the work I have done so far. I may not be able to paint until the spring depending on how the rest of the summer pans out. I suppose fall would be a good time to paint after we've had a killing frost and all the bugs are gone. No matter, I'll get to it whenever the time is right. I also want to prime the bottom so I can turn it over and begin the repair to the hood in front and start making cardboard mock-ups of the mahogany. I still have the motor to keep working on and the trailer to take apart and paint. I'm feeling pretty excited about the nice job the epoxy did on filling the holes. That'll make the finished product nice. [/QUOTE]
