So the masking didn't work out the way I wanted. I forgot to run a seal coat of clear after I masked it off, and the paint bled. You can look at October 2018 newsletter (www.bluejacketinc.com - newsletter archive) to see the technique. So on Sunday I re-sprayed the waterline where it bled. (*sigh*)

Take a deep breath, cross those fingers, and spray! OK it looks good, now the real test - pull off the masking tape........
HOORAY! Just a little touch-up needed on the inside of the bulwarks from the first spray job.

The Red Jacket instructions call for cutting the stern caprail out of bass sheet, and fitting it into place. I've always had trouble doing that, because it is difficult to get an even width. Mine always look a little "off." Taking a hint from the bow caprail on the Charles Notman, I decided to laminate it. The rail is 1/8" x 1/16" so I used 4 pieces of 1/32" x 1/16." A simple 5-minute soak in water made them pliable and I taped them around the stern overnight. The next night it was very easy to lay them down. The finished product looks nice and even.
