Painting Progress

Visited Albert on Monday to check on progress. I picked up the brass fittings so I can start polishing. I also picked the liners for the stern doors. Maggie did the decoration and its lasted well over the last 10 years. However the varnish needs renewing so I have a little project.

Sample panels for the earlier scumbling

Under the wooden liners that I removed there was an interesting artifact that doesn't often see the light of day. When an earlier boat painter (prior to 2003) was trying out scumble systems he used the area as a "sample piece". My guess the left door is the Dulux Brushwood that he used. This time with Brushwood being discontinued an new solution will be needed. I gather Colin has got it sorted out
