By buddy has a chopper gun and was building Carolina skiff copies and was using clear mekp. Big mistake. One time he stopped up the gun or line to the mekp and sprayed half of a mold with out the mekp flowing and only half of the hull layup hardened. Big big mess. Then he went to red die mekp to ensure the mix was happening. Finally he sold the whole set up, and told me it was more trouble than it was worth. Clean up was a bit*$ and it was only good for spraying large molds (full hulls basically).

Me, I want to mix mine at the rate I want in batches. Throw away the mess hardly no clean up. If I for get to clean the roller...the bottle torch will fix that quickly.

If you did several full hull molds a week maybe but to do small jobs, I like to do it by hand.
