Restoration of the deck on the sailboat Athena involves removing the old teak, replacing the core, and applying a new top skin.0:30 After fairing the surface, the project requires a protective layer of primer and topcoat before the boat moves out of a shed for the winter.1:10 The deck receives two coats of Sigma Dur 550, a paint chosen for its ability to cure at temperatures as low as 23°F and its unlimited maximum overcoating interval.14:20 Because the cabin top remains unfinished, the owner seals port light openings with transparent tarp and outdoor tape to protect the interior.15:48 To keep the deck watertight while allowing for future work on hatch openings, the owner constructs and seals temporary wooden boxes over the hatch cutouts.17:20 While the deck surface shows minor waviness, the owner plans to mask these imperfections with Kiwi Grip and deck hardware in the spring.1:37 Proper mixing ratios and the use of thinners are critical for achieving a smooth finish when rolling and tipping paint.9:58
