This evening I was able to get the second and final coat of interior paint on - an epoxy-based paint by the name of TotalBilge. I began by lightly sanding the previous coat with 220-grit paper, vacuuming and then wiping the surface with a solvent. I painted the second coat on with a foam roller. Finishing up with the paint, I turned my attention back to the shop for continued varnish work on the forward and middle seats from the white Dhow.
I sanded the first, highly thinned coat of varnish with 220-grit paper, cleaned the surface and applied a lightly thinned second coat of Epifanes clear varnish.
I managed to flip the white Dhow to begin the process of its interior restoration. I am intent on not having to rip out the aft seat and backrest on the white Dhow, since the material is salvageable. I am thinking of ripping the front 1/2" of the aft seat to remove the severely chipped portion, and then epoxy in a new edge...more to come.
