[QUOTE="josher3006, post: 280210, member: 8793"] Worked on the boat over the weekend. Finished cutting and fitting the front deck, and rear bench seat. First made a template out of cardboard box from a water heater. Cut out the plywood parts, then sealed the plywood with two coats of epoxy. When the second coat of epoxy was still tacky I sprayed some sand in it with the sandblaster to make it non-skid like the floor. After that I shot it with a couple coats of the mixed rustoleum. As that dried, I used a scotchbrite pad to rough up the inside gunnels that would show after the deck was put in. Then I shot on a couple of coats of dead grass ultra flat paint. I got this at my local Gander Mtn. it is made by hunter's specialties, and compares to the Parker duck boat paints a lot of people use, but it is cheaper.
