Paint-a-Boat Marine Painting Workshop

Description

Have you been mystified by marine paints? Frustrated by the array of products available? This is the class for you! This workshop will take students through a step-by-step process of prepping and painting bare and previously finished wood. The first day will be spent learning how to efficiently prepare surfaces – the key to a good finish. Skills covered will include how to strip paint with a heat gun and scraper, puttying with various resins and putties, and, of course, sanding. Day two will be focused on how to apply a nice even coat of marine paint. Students will learn correct masking techniques, paint additives and prep, rolling and tipping, keeping a wet edge, and brush care. A unique feature of this class will be the opportunity to go through the current projects in the CWB boatshop, in the context of educating the class about finishing choices. On both days, demonstrations will be performed by the instructor and students will be able to test their newly-acquired skills on a variety of wooden boat parts.
