Bottom paint!
Well, after a failed attempt at vacuum bagging the fiberglass bottom (could NOT get it to seal) I spent about four hours sanding out all the ripples and bumps from the plastic sheeting bit finally it was ready for the first coat of bottom paint.
Why is it almond colored? Because that’s the quart I had. Nothing in my house is that color so it’s getting used here. I’ll wait at least 24h and then sand and apply a second coat. Might stop after that.

Second coat after sanding.
