AndrewNaylor Posted February 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2013 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 Andy Quote Current Build HM Granado CC Past builds HMS Chatham CC, HM Convulsion CC, Duke William German Kit, Fair American LSS, The Wright Flyer MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Von Hofen Posted February 19, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 19, 2013 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. docidle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
