I like the graphite better than the Dykum whihc is already better than the spray paint.

I very much agree, For the finesse work. I did find the Dykem stood out better before priming though.

I finished what I'm going to sand today. I have the transom sanded.



From the edge.



See Y'all later.

Looking good Eric. You have to be getting close to "good 'nuff".

If I could just keep myself from cutting through the primer I would call it done.

Ah say the heck with it put on 3 or 4 coats of primer and sand it smooth and call it done with.

Fuzz, It only shines with light from an acute angle. That's just how I'm checking the surface.
I don't know if I'm doing this right or wrong, I'm just doing it as best I can.

I had the same problem. When the sanding of the primer seemed to be introducing defects in the surface I put on one final coat of primer and proceeded to the topcoat. Looks like you are at the same stage. Very nice.

Eric my point was your primer looks better than my topcoat That thing is going to look way nice

Thank You very much. I did not take it in a negative. I was just stating the Facts!

No big news today. I'm still just barely cutting through primer. My resolve is a new plan. Where I have applied this coat of primer (without the section that set up on me) it maintained a nice surface finish. I'm going forward with the rest of this sanding to 180. After that I plan to apply two more coats and pray I can get to 220-320 without issue. I left the boat rather frustrated around noon. I did not take photos. I just had to walk away it was really getting under my skin.
