Painting a boat!

Step 2: Sanding

Using a rotatating electric sander and a hard grit disk sand the surfaces in preparation for painting. Sand down enough to remove unwanted dirt, bumps and sticker remnants but don't go too deep as to damage the fiberglass underneath. Boat paint can contain toxic chemicals so do wear a particulate mask and some goggles. A respirator is suggested but a heavy duty mask works well too.
