Default Re: Using Awlgrip

Awlgrip is not that hard to work with,if you know how.
Don't alternate between gel coat and Awlgrip, once a boat has Awlgrip on it, stay with it.
Don't brush the primer or the finish coat, you can do that on larger areas, if you do it on smaller areas it is hard to get the brush strokes out and you end up sanding all the primer away. Use the 545 primer, use your PreVals or another small sprayer.
Spray the spots with primer, it is better to go with 3 or 4 lighter coats, than 2 heavy coats. Don't tape off and leave a line, free hand spray and feather out.
Sand the primer and do the same with the finsih coats, working your way out with each coat, then wet sand the feathered edges and buff.
Good luck.
Obviously if you have a large area, you will want to mask off the surrounds equipment.
