Got the decks glassed up last weekend, quick sand to knock down the peel ply texture and squeegeed on some microspheres.
First coat, will obviously need a second once it's done, but the first coat is always the worst to put down. Following coats always seem to adhere more easily and you can make them more spreadable.

Also started the horrible job of scraping off someone else's previous coats of flaking paint from the cockpit and bulkheads. They will get sanded when I have the sander out to knock down the decks.
