That looks like more of a vacuum accumulator. The vacuum gage would not be happy with resin in it. The traps my co-workers use have the hoses go...
If it were me I'd definitely use fiberglass instead of just relying on the glue. You should read this, informal, test comparing laminating resin...
I've used Gel Magic for gluing in G-10 epoxy tube sections. The tubes are my method of "hard spotting" through holes on my deck and hull. The...
My boat was built using dyed resin/hardener that is green in color. My guess is blue and yellow dyes mixed from resin and hardener. The hull was...
I've heard good things about using Kilz primer as a tie coat. They make an oil based version. For my interior, I'm testing using an epoxy...
I have some questions regarding application of the paint. I can heat my shop and its nice and dry inside, but to spray I need to open the garage...
I think there may be a problem with the way the coupon code was set up. When I put a gallon of Quantum in the cart and apply the code it errors...
Joel, I'm ready to buy paint for my project. Do you have a coupon code you can share with me? Post or PM if you do! Thanks!
I'm going to be painting my trimaran this spring. I'm still deciding on paint. I have an automotive hobbyist grade HVLP system and an air...
People seem to like the MAS epoxy quite a bit. I've been working with Applied Poleramic epoxy for many years and have been happy with it.
SukiSolo, I believe you are correct about the white 545 fading to tan. I found an old picture of the hulls in the factory and they are white. My...
The color was tan directly from the factory from what I know. The boats were sold as kits and were shipped with only primer, but I believe this...
An Awlgrip rep thinks its the High Build primer. I'm not sure about filling pin holes with High Build primer. I guess I'll end up doing some...
I have a sailboat built using epoxy resin and the builder stated instead of gel coat they used Awlgrip 545 primer since the boat was oven curved....
I hear you PAR. I like acrylic urethane myself. It does seem like the water borne paint requires an even more clean shop. I've seen some...
That is partly why I keep searching for options, like PPG & DuPont, instead of just going with System 3. I have a gravity feed HVLP, but I'm in...
Looks like PPG has a full water borne system now. I'm not sure if I can get all the products locally or how expensive the stuff is: D8012...
At the time I remember I did the 20% water dilution. I think I had good results at first and had orange peel on a later spray. I remember that...
I've tried the WR-LPU many years ago. My HVLP sprayer dried it out too much and I ended up with orange peel. I'm reconsidering it since I'm...
What I'm looking for in a top coat is a non-isocyanate water borne 2k (two part) single stage (no clear coat) paint. Can someone point me in the...
