Ok , we have now had two coats on the deck, then a real good sand to get rid of some of the highs and lows in the pain with a flat bit of board under the sand paper, it looked good !
waited to spray but weather not helping, but did get one on today but gun or me not in the mood to do a good job . had some runs and other problems .
Will need a light sand back and do it again . will get it right one day !!!
With all this going on I have miss the cut off for the wooden boat festival .

Made some rudder and prop shaft collars out of aluminum .
Turned / split and tapped for 2 cap heads to clamp around the shafts .
Fitted them to go to the boat drags today but decided not to go this morning.
