Ted, that looks great. A climate controlled paint booth is the way to go. Can't wait to tour your boat in Ft. Pierce.
So NICE, OUTSTANDING JOB.
If you keep the can sealed tight, upside down, it will skin over the bottom, leaving the paint near the top available to use later.
If the paint can seals are roughed up, HD has new quart cans that you can use to save touch up paint.
Thanks for the kind words, still grinning a day later.
Funny you mentioned climate control. Ideal Awlgrip painting weather is upper 70s and 50% humidity. Have been waiting much of a week to paint. Between the rain from the Noreaster and cooler temps it wasn't happening. Finally the skies were forecast to clear but the building and boat were in the 60s. So we built a fire in the wood fired boiler the day before and brought the boat and building up to 80 so that we could ventilate the building but have the paint kick quickly. Worked perfectly!
Looking forward to Ft. Pierce.
Splash time is coming quickly. Just have one or two things to attach.
These paints are stock colors for Sean. If there's to be any touch up work, he'll be doing it.
