Default Re: Spraying Awlgrip

Thanks guys!

Capt Chuck thats funny [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Billy Bob I sprayed it inside the shop. It helps to have a brother who works for a crane company. I used a 3-M respirator I believe a 6200 series? Full coveralls and hood.

Pogden- No thats not the first time. I used to spray kitchen cabinets when I got out of high school. I guess it's like riding a bike something you never forget. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Tim- I used duratec on the bracket, transom and inside walls. I used awlgrip primer on the outer hull. I sanded up to 180 grit. I was just too tired of sanding. Had I went up to 220 then it would have reflected like a mirror. I made 5 pases around the boat outside and inner walls. The first coat was a tack coat. Let that sit for 30 minutes then the second coat was a heavier tack coat. Let that sit for 20 minutes then the last three coats were wet coats about 10 minutes between each. The duratec is way cheaper then the awlgrip primer and works just as good if not better. I checked with the duratec rep and he said that you can awlgrip over it. It's a polyester not epoxy primer. For the non-skid I used the Awlgrip brand.
