[QUOTE="tinboatlover, post: 192077, member: 4632"] Here are some pics of the steelflex. I couldn't really get the temperature to the point I wanted, but I put it on anyhow. It ended up being around 70 degrees, but I had to shut off the propane heater when I left. It was about 25-30 outside, so I didn't get to let it fully cure at that temperature. It was extremely difficult to work with and I didn't have nearly enough to do what I needed to do. I don't know how people say they did 3 coats and had enough left over for their trailer. I did a decent coat on the bottom with a few touch up spots and I put a thin coat on the sides with a few touch ups there as well. I barely have enough to do the top rail when I flip it over and I really wanted to put another coat on it (but I don't have enough). I used 1 gallon if you are wondering. It came in 2 half gallon containers that I mixed equally in small batches. It would have probably turned out much smoother if I had more to put on because everywhere I applied it thick, it looks much slicker. Anyhow, hopefully it is sealed now. [/QUOTE]
