November 11, 2011; 8:00 am – noon; day 18. Happy Veterans Day! Today, I finished longboard sanding with 120 grit, masked her off and painted the hull. Taking time sanding and filling and repeating this process is kind of pain in the elbows but will give you a fine paint job. Tomorrow I will paint the bottom and let the hull paint get good and hard before I sand it and give it another coat.
