Finally, at long last, I got the mahogany plywood that’s been cut and fitted since March into the origami spray booth for coating with ICA clear coat.
Houston…WTF
I came back to the boatyard to find that a trailered sailboat had been moved onto the new patch of gravel next to my tent. Unfortunately, there’s not much room between the sailboat and the origami spray booth. Now my first priority is moving the booth.
Relocate the spray booth 10′ forward of where it was
Relocated and ready to hang panels
Unfortunately, the time it took to move the booth delayed hanging the panels. By the time I got finished hanging them, it was too late to spray…have to delay until the next morning.
The following morning, water drips on the wood
A passing shower caused rain to drip around the perimeter of the tent, where the water just happened to drop on the string that’s suspending a few panels. It ran down the string and made the wood damp…can’t spray until that dries completely.
Finally, ready to spray as evening approaches
The first four coats look good!
I’ll leave it to dry overnight
Good looking mahogany!
Transom window surround panels look great!
