Painting the Kayak

Posted on August 27, 2022September 14, 2022 By Mike No Comments on Painting the Kayak
Kayak Building, Taalak

Sanded down and painting. I feel like I learned a lot about this area from the previous build. I relied a lot more on the random orbital sander this time. I also am using 3M blue tape and pressing down with a plastic card. I had a lot of bleed through last time.

Hope the paint line is straight, I’m not sure I’ve shared the handle I carved out previously either. This one is not recessed so its sticks out more. I think I like the first design better other than the colour of the cedar doesn’t go well with Okoume, and this one was a lot easier to make.
Clear on first this time, as when doing the white portion I plan to put on a quick thin coat of clear so there can’t be any bleed through.
Didn’t have enough time to do the clear to prevent bleed through, but with the 3M blue and the tips I got for removing the tape I could tell that I was going to have less problems, and yes I did get a nice clean paint line! Hows the gloss? Only 3 coats of Oyster white 2 part Epifanes as thats the entire can!
