Hey all,
I have a question for my Capri 25; but, since it is generic to bottoms, I figured this band of briggands and louts might be able to answer it for me.
I have just finished painting the bottom with VC Performance. What grit of sandpaper should I start and then with what grit should I finish?
Cheers!
