<p>If you intend to have removable bolts, drill the holes double the size required for the bolt, fill with thickened epoxy, then re-drill to the proper size. This prevents water wicking into the endgrain.</p>

<p>If you want to install something that might need to be removed at a later time (cleats, ports, pad-eyes, chain plates, etc.) then you drill the holes for the bolts/screws, epoxy coat (or fill as above and re-drill) the endgrain. Use a bedding compound or butyl rubber tape to seal the part to the hull/deck/cabin, and screw/bolt into place. Do not use silicone and NEVER USE 5200!!</p>

<p>I agree with BB a thousand percent on that. I won't let silicone anywhere near a boat of mine. I've had to clean it off when I've been doing up old boats and it's a hell of a job, the slightest trace left behind causes problems.

<p>Salut eric! </p>
<p>Me again. I agree with paul. Painting is last. And I can tell you that we severly underestimated the work and time it takes to paint such a small boat. But I guess that was the case with every step of the building. It all makes the maiden voyage even sweeter.</p>
<p>Keep it up!</p>

Thanks Paul, Inside has been painted actually. And so for outside, everithing should be finished, including beam sockets, lacing battens... before painting. Thank you.

<p>My advice would be to paint as much of the interior of the boat as you can before putting the decks on. Externally I would finish all the work before putting final coat on.</p>
