Ladies and Gentlemen

 I am starting to do the water line on my Granado. . The water line feathers to the center from the bow and stern. My question is should I seal and varnish the hull before trying to paint the water line? and can I use a regular house hold white primer for the hull?

Thank you and happy building

Hi Andre,

 

Have used both methods. Found that when you varnish hull, you need to use a very soft pencile. The benefit of the varnished hull is the planking is sealed and can be roughed up with very fine sandpaper. I have used auto primer as the finished coat.
