 Interior. Worked on 2 layers of wood-sealer around ALL plywood in  front cabin and head. changed strategy now. came early morning, painted all, and went home, then came closer to night and did second layer. Appeared strange thing, two panels of front cabinet appeared vey dark, but all plywood was bought in the same place and same type.  Slow progress really disapointing, but can't go faster. Just some pictures

 Interior Worked on 2 layers of wood-sealer around ALL plywood in  Main cabin. main issue is 40C outside and to keep myself ok i had to run AC and close doors and windows. BUT painting inside sealed box is not an easy task from many perspectives.  Yes, I vented cabin time-to-time mainly to avoid combustible concentration of vapors. Saturday i started work at 6AM to catch a little OK (not cool) time and have chance to work with open hatches.  beside plywood, I also soaked galley countertop with ting oil. Now it is came water protected and amazingly nice looking. Just showing pictures after priming with wood sealer, but even without varnishing it looks great, is not?

Temporary mounted  air exhaust fan, blowing ait from head (toilet) room in Dorade box and out. Galley Headliner panels and light. Not perfect match, but at any case i will add some trimming. Main cabin Installed lamp over shelves (and worktable) on portside. And trimmed headliner to size Cabin finishing.  Started priming plywood with wood sealer. Aft cabin wall  is done. It is not varnished yet. when I come to varnishing  i will need to clean ALL dust as much as I can from the boat. Probably take tools and materials I do not need for finishing out of the boat as well. Fixed windows Filled gap between windows and internal plywood skin. I pushed this for a while. It is messy work have to ...
