So I applied a protective epoxy layer with blue color pigment. Next spring when I apply the 3rd layer of filler i have a good contrast and can better identify the areas where to put more filler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-1024x463.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-615\" style=\"width:655px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-1024x463.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-768x347.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-1536x695.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-2048x927.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3393-624x282.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had to get to work on the job I really didn&#8217;t like: filling and sanding.
