Scotchbrite pad on deck

Builder's Forum

Do I rough up the surface of the fiberglassed Chesapeake 16Lt deck between coats of resin with scotchbrite pads? I think I did this for the hull. I plan on varnishing the deck and painting the hull. I honestly don’t remember if I did this for the hull between coats.

Between coats of what, varnish, epoxy …?

not really necessary between fill coats of epoxy if you are doing the fill coats within 24 to 48 hours of the previous coat.. otherwise a light scuffing is useful.

Howard,

It will be under the 24-30 hour limit. I did get the first coat on though

Looks really good :+1: you did a nice job of glass to the sides.

Howard,

Thanks. I can just about see the end. I am just hoping I can paint and varnish before it gets too cold.
