So first things first - about a month or so ago I had my wife help me take the boat off the stand at which point we both washed it down with soapy water to try to get some of the Amine residue off. This was suggested by our local Interlux rep. Once it was back on the stand it sat for a while!
Well this weekend it ended up raining all day Saturday and I figured it was the perfect opportunity to resurrect this project!
I ended up getting about two thirds of the deck sanded by the time I called it quits. I am using hand sanders since I am trying real hard not to break through the epoxy into the natural wood and power sanders seem to have a mind of their own at times! That being said I did have a couple of minor areas where I exposed the wood. I am thinking that since I am using an epoxy based primer that it might not be a huge deal.
My goal is to finish sanding the deck next weekend. Fingers crossed!
