Three hours of work after a long stop due to other commitments, including a conference abroad. We continued sanding the aka's deck and cockpit in preparation for the additional resin coats, and in the meantime we bought two cans of water based acrylic enamel (a.k.a. latex paint for our USA friends) to test how well it adheres and cures on epoxy. We gave two coats (the second one after 24 hours) on scrap plywood pieces already coated with epoxy, after a rinse to remove a possible blush patina and a light pass with the sander.
We really hope that those paints will work well because they're easy to apply. We might also give a try to wated based polyurethane enamel which is supposed to be better than the acrylic. Stay tuned for the results.
Total work time to date: 646 hours.
