Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Sanding/Painting an embossed deck?

I looking for some advise. I am working on a 13' whaler project. I've just repaired the hull and repainted it with interlux perfection. Everything came out great and now I'm repainting the deck. The problem I have is that most of the deck is embossed and I'm supposed to sand it before the primer and paint. Has anyone had this problem. The only thing I can think of is to lightly hit it with a wire brush.
Thanks Andrew

I'm sure others have better solutions, but I think that I would sand it with a very very fine wet sandpaper and the wipe it down really good with acetone.

Thanks Tom, I'll try that first.
