I'll give anyone a run for their money in this category.Originally Posted by ebb
BTW, there's an article in the latest Cruising Wolrd on fairing and prep work prior to a topsides paint job. Could yield some good basic info. On the other hand, the experienced pros and DIYers on this board can pump you full of more info than you can handle. And as our fearless forum leader Bill inferred, A LOT of topics have already been covered - it's just a matter of digging the info out of the archives.
Another of the forum members pointed out in another thread somewhere (paraphrased): if you screw it up, just sand it and try again. I'll be putting this piece of advice into practice soon as weather warms up.
Welcome aboard Stephan. This is a nice little corner of the web for moral support and info. Congrats on the "new" boat!
