Well I bit the bullet and went with a high dollar bottom coating for the jetjon. I sanded the old factory paint off the hull and sealed all rivets with 5200 and let her sit for 6 days. I received my package in the mail today from wetlander so needless to say I was under the boat sanding out the bare aluminum and wiping it down with acetone. I mixed up 75% of my quart and applied it with a standard johnny roller (hotdog roller to you painting novices :wink: ). Everything went smoothly, the product fisheyed which was to be expected but seemed to settle out during the curing stage, I had enough product to coat everything with primer once and a light quick second coat, not easy laying on a roller cart under a boat painting 8 inches above your face but I was satisfied. Once mixed Wetlander has the consistency of a heavy waterbourne paint with the slight drag of an oil base, if you can paint a wall you can paint with this stuff. It was dry to the touch in 20 minutes and the pot cures out in 1 hour. I realize this is just the primer coat, but MAN is it SLICK! It feels like a teflon coating with no friction on fingertips, very cool. I will update when I put on the topcoat this weekend, apparently Wetlander needs 5 days for cure before use, so I guess I will be staring at the boat all week watching paint dry...
