Whether due to the need to carry out a\u00a0maintenance<\/strong>\u00a0full to the ship, or for the pleasure of\u00a0change the color<\/strong>, to make the repainting of a wooden boat we will need to follow a series of steps that will help us achieve a result\u00a0cash<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0durable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let's see how to paint all the parts of a\u00a0wooden boat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We will start with\u00a0deck woods<\/strong>, followed by\u00a0living work<\/strong>\u00a0and finally the\u00a0dead work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to Paint Deck Woods<\/b><\/h3>\n

As always, before starting any repair and maintenance work, we must make sure that we wear the appropriate protective clothing:\u00a0protection diver<\/a>,\u00a0mask<\/a>, glasses,\u00a0gloves\u00a0<\/a>and if necessary\u00a0shoe covers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We must first\u00a0clean<\/strong>\u00a0with fresh water all the deck wood to be repaired.<\/p>\n

We protect the areas adjacent to the work area well to avoid accidents delimiting with\u00a0plastic and technical tapes<\/a>. We complement the masking with a cover protector, like the\u00a0MAXPRO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We make a first\u00a0sanding<\/strong>\u00a0where we will eliminate the most superficial layers of varnish.<\/p>\n

The varnish gives the wood a layer of protection that acts as elements and highlights the natural beauty of the wood, it is recommended that they take a\u00a0UV filter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"varnished<\/p>\n

The\u00a0sanding<\/strong>\u00a0We can do it with sandpaper or with a sander (depends on the width of the surface) and\u00a0abrasive discs\u00a0paper<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0film<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0with medium grains\u00a0P150-P260<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once sanded we must completely remove the dust with a brush or a clean cloth.<\/p>\n

We can apply the same solvent that we will use with the rag varnish to finish cleaning the surface.<\/p>\n

If necessary,\u00a0we will replace the masked<\/strong>\u00a0for a new one.<\/p>\n

It is recommended to apply several layers of varnish to the wood to achieve a deep and lasting shine. In the first layers we will dilute a 30% with varnish solvent and apply it with a brush.<\/p>\n

In the following layers of varnish the amount of solvent will be reduced.<\/p>\n

For optimum results, it is recommended to sand lightly between coats with\u00a0abrasive sponges<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0fine-grained, superfine or microfine.<\/p>\n

How to paint the living work<\/b><\/h3>\n

After recovering the timbers from the deck, we proceeded to treat the live work of the boat.<\/p>\n

We will proceed in the same way,\u00a0Cleaning<\/strong>\u00a0with fresh water and\u00a0degreasing<\/strong>\u00a0to proceed to the complete sanding that will leave us a smooth and uniform surface.<\/p>\n

We will make sure to use the\u00a0elements of\u00a0personal protection<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0(diver, glasses, mask and gloves).<\/p>\n

Surely we will find some areas of damage, these defects will be solved by patching\u00a0putty<\/strong>\u00a0epoxy. Putty should be mixed properly until a consistent mix is obtained and an adequate amount is used. If too much is applied, the surface will need to be sanded further.<\/p>\n

Apply the putty with a\u00a0spatula<\/strong>\u00a0of the necessary size for the area to be treated.<\/p>\n

Once the putty dries, you have to\u00a0sand the surface<\/strong>\u00a0to get a correct profile. Then we will seal it with a suitable primer (mixing the components well). The manufacturer will report the number of coats required to be applied.<\/p>\n

\"sanding<\/p>\n

Once we have the dry or semi-dry surface, the antifouling must be applied. We will apply it quickly first\u00a0horizontally<\/strong>\u00a0and then\u00a0from top to bottom<\/strong>. The manufacturer will also inform you of the number of layers required.<\/p>\n

Before applying the\u00a0paint and varnish<\/strong>\u00a0we must sand the surface with\u00a0fine grain abrasive discs<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0P-800-P1000 and we will clean the remains with a clean cloth.<\/p>\n

How to paint the dead work<\/b><\/h3>\n

After recovering the live work we headed to the dead work of the boat.<\/p>\n

We will reapply\u00a0technical tapes<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to divide the two areas of the boat (waterline). Make sure to cover the entire area where we have applied antifouling to ensure correct protection. It is recommended to use the\u00a0plastic with UV technical tape<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or with\u00a0rice paper tape<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that allows a correct masking without leaving a residue when removing the product.<\/p>\n

\"Delimit<\/p>\n

We proceed to apply the paint previously mixed with the solvent to create the finishing layer of the boat. For a better finish it is recommended to alternate the use of brushes and rollers.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0boat maintenance<\/strong>\u00a0Wood will be carried out periodically depending on its use and if it winterizes in a dry dock or on the quay.<\/p>\n
