  • Stripped the stiles and threshold of the companionway using the heat gun.
  • Sanded the stiles and threshold of the companionway.
  • Mixed up one and a half cups of QuikFair . Faired the sides where the coamings rest and numerous areas in the cockpit.
  • Marked areas of the inside aft end of the cabin that need filling.
  • Next steps:
    • Fill, sand, and paint indent cover and winch bases to determine how the finished project may look.
    • Sand cockpit locker lids.
    • TSP cabin aft interior bulkhead.
    • Paint cabin aft interior bulkhead, first coat with High Gloss White ?? Might be best to wait to see how the Brightside looks in the cockpit.
    • Remove the access plate in the cockpit floor and fill diamond pattern below access plate flange.
    • Need to decide whether or not to remove the cockpit drains for this project.
    • Need to decide whether or not to remove cabin top winches to refinish inside cabin there as well.
