Back in January I got hold of a cheap second-hand kayak, from a guy who made his own. He liked to experiment and then move on to bigger and better things.
It wasn’t particularly neatly made. And the paint job was pretty … interesting. It looked like it had been painted with the same paint that is used for metal-working machinery – that dimpled metallic stuff. And it had been slapped on thick, with nice dribbles all over the place.
A quality paint job. I’d decided a while ago to strip it back and re-finish it, and finally got around to starting sanding today.
But lo and behold, what’s this that I see? I was expecting some average looking ugly plywood underneath. But no. My plywood was leopard-patterned.
So, a lot more sanding to go. But my kayak is going to be a leopard.
