so many years, we have the same boats in the same spots,many locked up while folks are brunching it up i guess.
Personally, I would like to build on...
The way to stabilize the large chunks is to run MORE saw kerfs into the wood lengthways, not cutting bolts, and fill those new kerfs with epoxy, thus...
yea just wash the texture with a brush, apply the paint thinly, as in, pull it out, not thin it out.
it does not need grinding off or re doing until...
