Final undercoat

Put on the second and final undercoat last night and this morning - kids woke me up early again! Also added the bulkhead hatches including the mastic to create a watertight seal plus fitted both seats, thwart and yoke. It really does look like a boat now.

Bought some exterior gloss paint for the top coat so am hoping to get it finished by the weekend ready for a first trip out sometime the week after.

Things left to do:

  • Paint the exterior
  • Varnish the exterior
  • Buy painters
  • Get out on the water

Total expenditure to date £392

Hi, I saw your post on SotP Forum about International primer/undercoat and wondered if it went OK?

Great canoe too.

I hope ours turns out as good as yours. Just put the International undercoat on and it's not drying but it could be the cold weather?
