Blacking day 6

Sue put a 4th coat of blacking on to the hull while I painted the bow flashes, tunnel bands and created some personalised non slip treads into the cratch.




Another coat to go on tomorrow 

Anti slip treads created with gloss paint and a dusting of sharp sand then more paint 



Happy Friday in the Royal Exchange
