Not a lot of “action” photos to share for the past week’s work. Most of my time has been spent painting and sanding. Three coats of poly paint on sides and top, each time with a sanding (first with 220, then 400, and 600 grit paper) a thorough scuffing to get a “mechanical” (my new favorite term) bond, then a wipe down with alcohol and again with tack cloth. It has really led to a beautiful finish.
The wood grain will get some more coats of epoxy and varnish, but that will come a little later.
Meanwhile, all the wiring at the front of the trailer is complete.
Next steps are getting those storage hatches on the side to seal water tight, and get the cabinet doors installed inside. There is also the small matter of rebuilding the galley hatch, but I guess I am still waiting for the bruises from my first attempt to heal?
The past weeks have been lovely for working outdoors.
Looks like a professional did it.
The Betty mobile is gorgeous. Such perseverance. You and Betty will forever have a mechanical bond.
That one made me laugh out loud. Well done!
Beautiful!!!!!
Dear Matthew, I for one am mightily impressed with all your good and hard works.
Colors are the schnitzel (is that correct?) and also very stunning.
Looking forward to road stories.
You missed a down right good and plenty Maritime Grind for sure. Safe travels. Aloha, Jeff B
