Kent Blair restores a 1930s Abaco dinghy named Henning by stripping the fiberglass hull, addressing wood rot, and sealing seams with cotton.Watch The restoration process involves applying TotalBoat TotalFair to fill holes, followed by a coat of Kirby white primer.0:33 Sanding the primer with 80-grit Gator pads on a DeWalt 20-volt random orbital sander removes wood fuzz and surface stipple.0:56 To manage dust, the sander connects to a Bonita Air System cyclonic separator, which filters particles into a catch bucket before air reaches the shop vac.3:34 The hull rests on an 8-foot dolly with articulating bunks designed for Sunfish hulls, allowing for easy movement between sun and shade.2:32 After sanding, the next phase requires applying seam compound to the cotton-caulked seams before final topcoats.1:55 Proper sanding until the surface feels smooth, rather than following a specific number of passes, ensures a consistent finish for the final paint application.1:21
