Deck seat washing and sanding

Five hours of work this week end. First we removed the amine blush from both sides

We then bored the 4 bolt holes using an oversize 15 mm bit to allow for coating with slightly thickened resin bringing the diameter back to 12 mm. To do that we used 12 mm bolts wrapped with adhesive tape to keep the resin separated from the steel. You could see the tips of the bolts protruding from the hole

 

Finally, we sanded and cleaned both sided in preparation for painting.

Total work time to date: 673 hours
