I was gone for a few weeks in Japan, so progress on the kayak has been slow. I\u2019m back to doing some work on it. First I had to sand it a ton. 80 grit, 100, 120, 150, 220. I touched up some thin areas with a little more epoxy and then sanded some more.<\/p>\n

My plan was to spray it with my HVLP instead of brushing on the finish. I wanted to do it all in one shot, so I suspended it in the air:<\/p>\n

I just attached the webbing to the ceiling with a few screws and washers to distribute the load:<\/p>\n

This allowed me to spray the bottom and top at the same time, and worked pretty well:<\/p>\n

After this, I waited about a day and wet sanded it with 320 grit. I\u2019ll up it to 400 grit after the second coat. I want to have a nice level surface, so I\u2019m still sanding it with a sanding block to get it smooth. Note that I also mop the floor to get rid of all the dust.<\/p>\n
