" Paint has a funny habit of drying "...golden comment.
Awesome video thanks, great communication and instructions...inspiring.
Thankyou.
Wonderful. Old school. What a joy to stumble on this. Thanks!
Hallelujah! At long last! Someone explaining what thinner/ reducer/ solvent/ brush cleaner is used with this cross-linking polyurethane paint. Thank you!!!!!! This was such a big help and the main thing holding me back from buying. No need to use proprietary high priced solvents.
4:00 - For brushing or rolling, thin paint with Mineral Spirits upto 5% - 10%
For spraying, thin this paint with Xylene upto 5% - 10%.
I finally understand what 'rolling and tipping' mean. Rolling is using a roller brush. Tipping is feathering the rolled paint with a fine brush. Wish all these videos would make that clear. We are not shipwrights, not professional painters.
Basic instructions:
Boat must be prepped beforehand.
Orient boat North South so you can work on shady side AM then PM.
Stir paint well with stick, do not shake (entraps air bubbles in Poly), and thin out 5-10% with Mineral Spirits (or Xylene).
Rollers should be foam for better control on thin coats rather than nap type wool or mohair.
Use Penetrol on brush to keep it soft. (Flood Penetrol).
Apply thin coats for even drying. Thicker coats dry unevenly.
Roll, tip (feather with brush), roll, tip...
Rinse off brushes with Mineral Spirits or Xylene. (Xylene is banned in CA so must be bought elsewhere).
Questions:
Working time before paint dries in tray?
Pot life on shelf after opening?
Can use powdered automotive pigments to custom tint this paint?
Can I use mica powder in this paint to create a pearly or metallic effect?
Can this paint be applied on a metal car? Fiberglass RV?
How do you remove this paint - paint remover?
Many thanks, great video and very much appreciated!
Actually we already new this. Because WE WATCHED THE FREAKING VIDEO ... ACE
WIth Louis - you have found the motherload of skills - his ability to build boats and yachts and ships is extraordinary - long time fan of Tips from a shipwright - he has a few other channels - and his work on varnishing is something to behold.
gday from an aussie shipwright!! love your videos. its great to see how other people around the world are doing our dying trade. Keep it up mate!
I paint a hull like you, except I paint my hull from a raft in the water by myself. (I don’t want to risk getting dust in my paint by doing it in a yard.) I do one side one day and the other side another day, tipping with my roller slowly so as to not cause bubbles. I use good old oil paint-One Shot sign paint with just the right amount of Penetrol to slow the drying. One coat does it after hitting the bad spots with some paint. Problem I have is getting masking tape that holds up to the sun here in FL. I know what works-3m silver tape 225, but it’s expensive, hard to find and I’ve got to be careful it’s not old because tape has a shelf life. It was refreshing to hear from an old timer like myself who’s found something that works and sticks with it.
Always enjoy your knowledgeable instruction! Keep them coming!
Nice job, both on the painting and the explanation!
thanks for this. restoring my boat and this will work a treat. cheers
That was a great video, thank you guys!
To place the boat "North & South" on the boatyard is really a smart idea! Thanks for the hint! :-)
You are the best Lou!~. Thanks.
Very fine tips. Also use them for doors in my house. Thanks.
I tried this for the first time the other day. I was using Easypoxy. My work looked like a topographic map of the Sahara desert. I put too much paint on there to begin with.
Great tips, thank you.
This is awesome! What type of brush are you using?
Thanks 🙏
"Paint has a habit of drying" Sometimes it takes a genius to make the simplest of points! XD Thanks for the video, really useful for boat paint novices such as myself!
I ditto exactly “village village” comment. Thanks for sharing. Was watching another boat painting video and they had the link to this one. Thanks for the rescue.
paint drips cuz there's a LOT of gravity in it
@@gschady Next time you buy paint look closely at the can. I recommend buying paint with no gravity mixed in. Then it doesn't drip
we kind of did it like this but the tipping was done with a roller as wel. The boat was so smooth after we painted it, look really good. Just a shame there are some spots where the paint is cracking now 4-5 years later. But o wel, thats the boat life.
Fantastic! 😍
Looks great 👍
So this foam roller is those solid foam ones or the one with foam fibres?
Made it look so easy.
Nice tips!
BEAUTIFUL
I like your videos
quick question, i'm about to paint my old 25' aquasport, and i was wondering if there was a special method to the tipping aspect? i noticed the tipper was holding a cup of some sort with paint in it? does the brush always have to be fresh and clean? do you try to scrape access paint from the brush into the cup? i just want to make sure i do everything right! Thanks.
Just feather in one section to the next. Very simple.
@@mjremy2605 thanks for the reply, this comment was from 6 years ago. by now i've mastered the art! i prefer realtree rollers with corona europa tipping brushes.
@@maxbarthe3467 good to know Thanks 😊 👍 starting my boat soon!
Mr Wright.. I cant stop my self from painting my wooden boat black.. I know its madness but any tips to make it as good as possible.. i live in Scandinavia and its not super hot here
Does this come in several colors, does it have a glass like shine and is it like lacquer paint? I'm watching this trying to get ideas for painting furniture with a glass like shine(like automotive).
How much prior prep was needed here?i.e., filling dents, etc. Also, was a primer used over the bare wood before putting on the coat shown here and was a second coat put on before the boat was launched. Thanks for the great demo.
How many fresh tipping off brushes did you use for the whole boat... Or do you clean the same one as you go?
Thank You.
Learnt a new skill in less than 7 minutes. Brilliant.
Hi did you sand the boat before painting? or just clean and top coat?
Iam watching this from Waldoboro, Maine right up road from friendship ME .waldoboro home of the five mastered schooners
on a blow boat krylon in a spay can can be used too
Do I need a savetey kit on a kayak?
Okay, I'll ask the same question previously asked by both Max Barthe and J Harley;
What is the tipper holding in the container, is it a solvent - thinners, turpentine substitute or white spirit etc - for cleaning the brush whilst tipping?
If so, how often should the brush be cleaned?
I think this must be considered fairly important, I'm surprised the video didn't instruct on this.
A reply would be appreciated
Thanks
its most likely just paint. when your tipping off you want to keep a wet brush other wise you will produce drag marks.
Thank you, Chris
sand down for texture? Polish?
We are about to paint our 1956 42' Matthews, god I hope it comes out this good. The primer was a disaster.
What is your tipper holding in the video? Is it a container of paint, or of thinner?
Does the tipper have to be cleaning the brush as they move along, to keep it from collecting too much paint?
Thanks
just paint in a small bucket
Cool boat.
Good job
Louis, I am looking to restore an old O'day 22, and am wondering when and how the best way to move the stands when its time to paint under them?
How to get your boat ready for bottom paint - ruclips.net/video/MdD1HyjUBks/видео.htmlm14s
thanks! can't believe I missed that! Also, when should I move the stand after painting around it? Should I wait for the paint to fully dry around it?
Perfect
what is the process PRIOR to painting ? Sanding /cleaners?
Did you consider fairing that hull before painting? There seemed to be an awful lot of chips and dings that y'all were just painting over.
Very true , they seem to be the dodgie brothers
Bruce Henry they are just good old sailors they just to go sailing capitán Ron stuff brothar
Better done than perfect.
This is a wooden boat in New England. I live about 5 miles from this boat. It’s subjected to extreme temperature and humidity changes during the season and her planks swell, expand, and contract with the weather. This constant movement makes it almost impossible to keep the paint pristine from season to season. Typically wooden boats here are hauled every 5-10 years to be stripped and recaulked. They look like new when done. This was a yearly maintenance paint job on an 80 year old boat.
I’m left handed, so I roll with my right hand as I tip with the left. Works great.
What roller brush do you use ?
He said a “foam” roller, not one with fiber. The latter leaves fiber/fibre in the paint.
Do you have to tip all coats ?
Not the primer coats because you sand most off, but the top coats should be rolled and tipped with a light sand in between. Follow the instructions on the Brightside can.
Can i paint a fiberglass boat with this?
Sure you can. Ignore Never's comment. Gelcoat is for lining a mould.
glidden works great to for a blow boat
Similar to how I painted my Motorhome with marine topside paint.
POSH (port out , starboard home) , stay on the shady side.
You missed a bit! ... only joking. An excellent explanatory video.
No primer??
Your tipper should be tipping in the opposite direction, from dry to wet, So as not to leave brush lap marks in the finished product
For real......shitty prep work
I just proved that tipping is not only unnecessary it only makes for brush strokes. After sanding down my first coat I tried rolling only. The trick is to thin quite a bit. To remove the bubbles simply roll the roller over the bubbles as light as possible. No roller marks no brush marks. Flows out instantly.
Depends on the color. Done both methods, and roll and tip makes a better finish on dark colors. Roll only is ok with white
My color was kinda dark. Black. I'm convinced tipping may be unnecessary with roller flatening (I dub that term just now :).
If you're happy with the results, good for you. You must be an incredible painter, cause even Interlux recommends R&T, especially for dark colors, but what do they know. As the saying goes "20 knots on a dark night, who's gonna notice"
I am quite remarkable at everything I do. Also these guys who think they can just use a paint brush. Forget they are considered the best but what do they know?
Different brush strokes for different folks. But if you have brush strokes, your paints not thin enough. Suggest reading "Topside Painting" by Interlux, but then again, what do they know?
Didn't realize how much pressure you needed rolling.
You need to add comments about solvents and what to have on the brush.. So much chat and sold little information here. You don't use a brushing reducer?
Do you tip your friend for tipping? Or just give him some cold beer and a nice cigar?
he is tipping icall it draging in the wrong direction he should be tipping away instead of towards the roller
Yes I agree , not very professional
I know what you're trying to say. Yes he's doing it wrong but the correct way to describe it is to drag from unpainted area through rolled area to previously tipped area.
The correct way Is to roll horizontal and tip vertical
There is no I in team 😏👍
two cowboys at work no prep at all just paint over big cracks
These guys are painting over deep scratches on 2'21"
Yeah I seen that aswel not great imo
🤣
add a 12 pack of beer any can do it on a sail boat
5th of Jack and we'uh weddy to paint dis piece uh shit
he not doing its right not smooth and not good at all if you stand closer look.
The tipping is backwards. You always pull the fresh to the previous to avoid stop and go marks. You guys do not know how to paint
Use the recommended thinner for the paint, but don't use too much. Sure, a single guy can do it. Roll a foot or so of hull vertically then pick up the brush and drag it through the fresh paint horizontally into the previously tipped part. Don't do it like these fools.
