Mai Star II inside as got all the paint off the hull and now time to coat it with boiled linseed oil and Cuprinol

Now that the most of the hull forward of the cockpit sole it can be coated with a mixture of boiled linseed oil and Cuprinol. 


This was a mixture we used to preserve the boat we build many years ago and as been a good  mixture to use on boat for many years. 


We expect the hull to soak up a great deal of this mixture before the hull planking stops soaking it up. 


Once this mixture is applied then the hull can be painted with bilge paint in the below the waterline and yacht primer above the waterline.


Let the fun begin with the large paint brushes.
