With our 1946 Chris-Craft Brightside U22’s bottom paint is fully cured, our attention turns to the topsides and transom.
Dutchman repairs of dings, dents and gouges will be followed by sanding the surfaces fair, bleaching, staining and sealing with multiple coats of CPES.
Then we will flip her upright and proceed to stripping the decks and covering boards, sanding them fair, bleaching, staining and sealing them with CPES.
Then, finally, finally, finally, we can move towards building what will be 20 coats of varnish.
