I have been painting a recently re-canvassed canoe. This involved ROS sanding the filler with two grades of paper, applying two coats of primer, sanding after each with water and wetordry 240, and two coats of slightly thinned Interlux polyurethane enamel, sanding with water and wetordry 400 between coats.
This has been a lot of work but the result is quit pleasing except for one place where the final coat showed three inches of sag. After a day of drying, I cut/scraped the sag marks off (they were still slightly soft), leaving a small marred area that I plan to work on as follows: Gently sand with wet 400 paper, followed by painting the area with a small artist brush, using thinned enamel.
Anyone with a better solution? For several reasons, I don't want to re-paint the whole canoe.
