RB,

Did you wash the boat before you primered it? I had troubles varnishing my Tern, because I did not wash it first. It "cured" to a sticky crackled 'gator skin finish after 1.5 weeks. To fix it, I removed the varnish, washed it thoroughly and revarnished, for a great finish.

: Today I moved the wherry outside and tried to sand the primer. Brigsides Gray
: primer is a funny creature. It feels 'gummy' to the touch and true enough
: it sticks to the sandpaper. I did what I could by using a scraper and
: sandpaper and then recoated the primer on the boat. I also painted the
: seats red on the top. The boat is drying now.

: I have pictures. They are horrible. The quality of focus is abhorent. I
: scanned them in and did what I could to salvage them. I have arranged them
: on a web page. Please bear with me. Eventually I will make the web page
: look good but right now I just need to get out of the house to pick up my
