The train station mural project is finally going forward. The committee has chosen a design, which will eventually be executed on fabric that will be adhered to the train station exterior. However, it was decided that the current train station wall won't be suitable for that, so our first step will be building a new one. Good quality half inch plywood will be primed and attached over the whole wall, and then the mural will be attached to that. Therefore, our starting point is the wood. It will take 22 sheets of plywood to do the job, which has been donated by Jaeger Lumber.
Using all three rooms of the Boatworks, we were able to set up 9 boards at a time, on top of tables and saw horses. BAC volunteers took turns using the four rollers to roll coats of white primer (provided by Belmar Paints) on first one side of the wood, and then the other.
When both sides of the boards were dry, we could move them to a safe place and put out a new set. When this process is all done, they will be cut to their proper shape and size and be installed on the train station wall. Check here for future updates.
