The trade that decides how the whole refit is judged from a tender twenty metres off the transom. Controlled tenting, logged conditions, and a schedule nobody is allowed to rush.
Longboard by hand until the reflection runs straight — the step that cannot be bought back later.
Built to the manufacturer's system, with dry film thickness read and logged as it goes on.
Awlgrip, Alexseal and equivalents sprayed in a tented, filtered environment.
Substrate temperature, humidity and dew point recorded hourly. Half of all coating failures are a weather record.
