Laurence - what a great job you have made of your boat! Congratulations! You will have yourself a ton of fun in 'Knysna Loerie'. She looks beautiful in the water.
So, now you know how to do it, what is your next boat going to be....?

Laurence, you ended up with a nice looking canoe. May I ask type of primer and paint you used? You ended up with a nice finish and I've been reading as much as I could in order to get ready for painting my FL11.JollyLolly wrote:First coat of color is on, with 3 or 4 to go. Inside needs another coat of epoxy, then as many coats of varnish as neccessary.

Steve,
The truth is, I didn't use a primer... figured this was my learning curve, and I had had enough of sanding, and the supplier I got the paint from said it did not need priming... I took his word for it.
This is the paint I used.
Yes, Tim, it is Cates Park. Seeing you're from Vancouver as well, you'll know why Knysna Loerie hasn't been wet since... . Next time though, I think I'm going further around to Deep Cove. Too many "noisy" boats at Cates Park
