Now that the Rubbing Strakes are finished as far as profiling and plugging the screw holes and shaping the aft ends to the original shape in was time to start applying the colour stain to make the rubbing strakes look as similar as possible to the original colour as they were when they were originally fitted.
The colour as given the rubbing strakes a uniforn colour along their whole length.
This shows how much the colour as changed over the years and even with a good amount of sanding the base colour was still a lot lighter than the new sections fitted aft on both sides.
