Log of Alberg 30 #262 on 15 June 2023


Endpoints: Silver Spring MD to Silver Spring MD
Purpose: Continue Fixing the Head Dorade Box
Complement: Yoni Bresler

  • No work on the dorade box yesterday, as I wanted to first coat of Rustoleum High Gloss White protective enamel to dry for 24hours before mounting the box for racing that evening.
  • About 1300, sanded the first coat of Rustoleum white protective enamel with 220 grit sandpaper.
  • Removed sanding dust with a tack cloth.
  • There is enough dip on each side of the box that I need to sand by hand from here out. Using a sanding block removes the high areas only (see the first photo below). Perhaps I should have faired the top and sides more completely.
  • Drilled a 1/8" pilot hole for the 2-3/8" hole saw.
  • Applied the second coat of Rustoleum white protective enamel.
