The day which started out well with the completing of the rear trampoline became frustrating afterwards. The paint that hadn't dried was still not dry by this afternoon. When I washed it with paint thinner the problem areas came off straight away. I washed all if the beams with problem areas and the bow of hull 1. I think I know what happened. I painted before the epoxy modified primer had cured. Speaking of primer not curing I've got the same problem with the cockpit bottom. I am just happy that I didn't paint it too. The other bit of work that didn't get far today was the marking of the waterline. Even using a waterlevel to first level the hulls and then tomark intermediates, it just doesn't look right. I am of the mind set to use the scum line method. Drop the boat in the water, let a scum line form, add a couple of inches and presto a perfect waterline.

Hi Thomas !
What about a laser level for marking the waterline ?
