Need 'Roll & Tip' tips

[65Bowrider]

Blue, whenever you can let gravity do the work for you, it's easiest. Rollers are 4", white, from Home Depot. They have the sponge brushes also. Like Chuck said, wipe with tack cloth before painting to remove all dust particles, also at Home Depot.

I learned at the boat show, talking to Interlux people, the red & yellow are the hardest to paint with. The chemicals have been changed and emolulents (something like that) has been removed due to EPA restrictions. On vertical surfaces, recommended tipping 'down' or 'up'. I'll be trying that today...and will let you know how it works.

i went to home depot and got the capt chuck 3" roller and the foam brushes that 65 reccomennded. i am practicing this technique on the primer.(interlux pre-kote thinned wiht 333)
i roll it on, let it sit for a minute or two then go over it with the 2" foam brush. i still see brush marks! maybe the primer is not the same as the actual paint or its too thick? please help im gettin kinda few up with this.

I work on a 175' Feadship, I use topcoat brushes and foam rollers made by a company called 'Corona'. I prefer 3" foam rollers and 3" brushes for rolling and tipping. They work the best on varnish as well. I always tip out vertically just light enoguh to elimanate the bubbles. If you tip horizontally, you have greater risk of sagging. More thin coats are always a safer bet to avoid brush marks.

Red is a tough color that requires more coats.
Good Luck
