I bought a new catalina 22. I am doing a fair amount of work on it. I would like to ask some questions on advise. See below what i have, and what i am going to do and questions i have. Any feedback from experienced sailors is welcome for answers to the questions or advise on what I am going to do. I appreciate you guys and thank you in advance!
what I have done.
1. Removed all the hardware
2. Rewired the whole boat.
3. Removed portlights and put on new gaskets on the frame.
4. Prepped for paint by removing all silicone and adhesive from fittings and portlights followed by sanding to scuff the surface up for painting.
Things i am going to do and aim to finish by end of May
1. Repair a scuff on the boat and my sliding hatch with 3m premium marine filler.
2. Paint whole boat top and down.
3. Rebed the hardware with bytle tape and use adhesive for heavy load bearing hardware.
Questions.
1. before rebedding the hardware i was told to fill all the bolt/screw holes with epoxy.
a. Should i do that with six10?
b. Also, should I fill the holes before or after painting?
2. is lattice pinewood okay to use as trim for inside a cabin?
That's it for now. I may come up up with a lot more questions.
