DEGREASE AND MASK

We decided that we'd spray the primer, which is another story of misadventure, so we masked the part varnished interior.

Some masking makes cutting paint into clear finished areas easier.

Use a recommended solvent or even detergent to degrease the whole hull prior to painting. It's surprising how much grease or body oils can be smeared over a hull while cuddling it to sleep after a days sanding.
