A short post about a very thin layer of paint


The floor batten repair / update project continues on the Utility. After two coats of epoxy and a little more sanding, I finally started painting the "fixed" area. 

Too much of the paint is peeling off from my last such "repair" to this boat. I'm not exactly sure why. My guess is that there is not enough physical adhesion of the new layer onto the old layer. Perhaps I didn't sand between layers enough. Perhaps I put the paint on too thick. Perhaps too much standing water had something to do with it.

In any case, and in hopes of a better job this time around, I sanded the area better this time in preparation for the new paint. Then I painted on a very thin layer with a foam brush.
