Re: FS19 in Sherwood, OR
Snails pace? Hardly, incredible progress in a short time, with great quality. Impressed and humbled!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Finally ready for primer and paint. Put a thinned coat of epoxy over the entire hull today. Overall I am pleased with the results of the fairing and sanding, the only exception is there is a little waviness where the spray rail meets the hull. Wasn’t obvious until I put the epoxy coat on. I am going to get a coat of primer on and reevaluate before I add any more fairing compound.
The fires out here in Oregon have ruined my elk season so I’m going to hopefully prime this week instead. Waiting on the primer to arrive I ordered last week. I’m going to use the system three yacht primer and EMC quantum 99 paint. Rolling and tipping. I know very little about painting so any advice is welcomed. Specific questions I have is what grit of sand paper should I use for sanding between primer coats and paint coats? What kind of brush to use to tip?

Great job!
Sorry to hear about the elk season. That's on my bucket list. My mule deer needs a friend on the wall and my freezer needs to be filled!

Looking great! I used foam rollers like these:

I was able to buy 10 packs at my local hardware store.
I found these worked great for both the System 3 primer and the Awlgrip.
I tried both chip brushes and foam brushes for tipping.
I settled in on foam as I could throw them away and did not have to pick out the loose hairs that always came loose on the chip brushes!
Good luck with your finish!
