Very nice, Dan. I used a flocked roller from the specialty paint store which I rolled repeated over taut strips of masking tape before applying paint. It worked well enough. But I am wondering which type of foam roller (if indeed it was foam) you used for the final topcoat? As always, top notch, educational video. Much appreciated.
Thanks. Yes I did the same tape trick with the first batch of rollers on the second coat, still found that we had hair loss though. The type I used in the end was a flock roller by Anza, very nice. Foam rollers don't hold up well to this polyurethane, they swell and go really floppy after around 10 minutes which isn't good.
Nice job, great work, @ 10:16, is that boat in the background an Albatross, i had one years ago and this looks the same, mine was a 13 footer, this one looks like its a 16 footer.
Thanks! Thats a little Glen L zip, it's the same boat thats in the right hand side of the shot when I am talking to the camera. Probably a similar size to an Albatross but it's all wood and outboard powered.
Just because I like Epifanes products. I know how they are going to behave when applied and thats a big factor. Once I find something that works I tend to stick with it.
Hi Dan, another nice video, well done! I am just wondering which epifanes product exactly you used. The only colored Polyurethane Paint i can find on epifanes website is EPIFANES POLY-URETHANE DD but that is only recommended to be used above the waterline!
Hi, are you going to make a video on how you make the front to with all the slits? I just bought a 1960 Chris Craft and I may have to replace that. Thanks.
hi, Dont laugh but i was thinking of painting my kit car which is fibre glass like this but i am worried about dust contamination. Do you know if you can rub down top coat say with 2000 grit then polish it up thus removing any dust ? thanks
Epifanes have a car that is painted with a roller using their paint that they take to shows: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=449962767130331&set=pcb.449962807130327 Yes you can flat and polish this paint as well to remove dust and imperfections 👍
As we are painting a launch here it is fine. The above/below the waterline classification really refers to boats that are permanently in the water. If this boat were living in the water permanently the paint system would likely have been an epoxy primer followed by an antifoul under the waterline.
As usual very nice Dan, great work, on a classic boat👍👍👍
Very nice
You are a master at your trade. Love the details you put into your work!
🙏
Very nice Dan. excellent job !
Super job

pleasure..
Thanks 👍

Awesome video. Is it the 2 part- any tips on adding curing?@@DanLeeBoatbuilding

Great video will this work on an aluminum boat also, I’ve already applied my primer, and the boat is going to be white?

Yes, the next video will be mechanical fit out which I’m doing now. Then I’ll be putting the new deck on 👍
👍👍👍😎

what roller did you use that didn't leave bits?
It's the Anza fine felt roller. Highly recommended.
How many 750ml cans of polyurethane did you use?
1x 3kg pack for this boat.
This paint says "for above waterline" but all the videos I see show painting the bottom of the boat. What's up with that?
