Default Re: Awlgrip

I have rolled and tipped it with pretty nice results on repairs. But you have to have a real comfort and understanding of what to do to make it lay out nice when you are doing larger conspicuos areas. I too first saw it done with great success at Merritt's, they were doing a whole 37. Those guys were darn good, they were a perfect team. From ten feet it was hard to tell it wasn't sprayed. My understanding of why rolling and tipping got so big with Awlgrip is Cost. You don't have to cover nearby boats, maybe stop work depending on the job. Not all the overspray in the air. If I remember correctly it was gonna cost 35 grand to spray the boat I was on and they could roll n tip for 10 grand less. The bigger and more ornate the job, the bigger the savings.
