I remove the blue tape AFTER I have wet sanded the top coat and replace with fresh blue tape before applying a 2nd coat.

Fine line tape is a plastic tape that gives you a very precise and thin...

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

Personally...I don't like any fairing on the bottom more than 2 to 3" below the boot stripe.

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

Terra Nova explained it better "off the bottom" is the key part so sludge cannot settle in the outlet.

Then have a small draining valve AT the bottom to drain off accumulated contaminates BEFORE...

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

RC.. Since your original plan to prime immediately after a section was blasted, did not happen, ......I urge you to get a paint representative to inspect steel before using their product.

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

If you can, it would be great to get a Paint Rep down to inspect boat and confirm that your base preparation is acceptable (from a warranty standpoint)

It sure will be nice to get your base primer...

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping

Re: Hull painting with Roller and Tipping
