View Full Version : Maintaining a wet edge while rolling and tipping the deck
Apologies if this has allready been covered. How am I going to paint the whole deck and cabin in one shot while maintaining a wet edge? Or do people not do it like that?
I plan on starting at the bow and working back...how long will the edge stay wet? I will be using interlux epoxy primekote
Thanks for any help

o.k.,,,,just 1 ?,,,,,what ta hell is with the holes?,,hehe,,,where them all "air pockets"?,,and how deep is the "mud" and how deep is the "glass",,,and how deep is ya over-all depth of those things?
The holes are where the interior cabin beams bolt through from the outside. I have ground out a circular area and I'm going to wet out with epoxy then cut a patch of fiberglass cloth, lay it in then fill with thickened epoxy then sand fair.
