I haven’t painted or even ordered any of this yet. I’m hoping your feedback will help me get the best results and prevent me from over-ordering and or killing myself with isocyanates

Tips & advice:
1. I called Awlgrip and they recommended using gelcoat NOT Awlgrip inside fishboxes or anywhere that might have standing water.
I hope to have a lot more tips & advice about Awlgrip for everyone once I actually start working with it
