Sealing Undersides of the New Settee Tops


July 26, 2019


With visiting family members having departed in the afternoon, I stole a quick hour on the boat to seal the undersides of the new settee tops in the cabin.  I flipped the tops over and placed the port settee top on the starboard side and the starboard settee top on the port side.  I then solvent-wiped the underside of both to remove any remaining contaminates.

Using the TotalBoat TotalProtect epoxy barrier coat paint, I then sealed the undersides.  I first cut in around the cleats that support the locker lids with a 2" brush, and also at the forward and aft ends as they were difficult to access with the foam roller. 



The field of the settee tops were easily enough painted out with the 6" foam roller.  The tops of the settees, and what is viewable of the cleats, will be painted out with the finish paint for the cabin.


Total Time Today: 1.25 hrs
