Bedding deck fittings.
I am quickly coming to the point of rebedding the deck fittings
on my boat. A brief history: wood decks off, screw holes filled, core voids filled, now doing final sanding. I asked someone (a boat yard professional) whether to rebed the fitting on the raw glass or wait until after painting and bed them on top of the paint. He said it is best to bed in the raw glass (gelcoat actually), then mask them off and paint around them. That way if there is a paint failure I won't have to deal with rebedding them again. Also, much easier to remove them, sand under then and rebed them than have them all out and having to fill them temporarily against the WX while painting is going on. Thanks! Doug s/v Callista |
