[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 456057, member: 22140"] Gotta laugh. Weather forecast wise yesterday was the first 24-36 hour rainfree stretch in....weeks. Weather Radar completely clear for a couple hundred miles to our west (from whence cometh our rain). So I got up early, pressure washed (for the 10th time at least, there have been so many false starts) and dried the boat, applied the Petit topside paint to the sides and then the Wetlander on the bottom. Everything went on beautifully. Stepped back for a look....Perfect. Love it when a plan comes together. 1 hour later, a boomer moves through. Looking at it this morning, the oil based Petit was mottled with thousands of light colored spots where raindrops lingered on the tacky surface. Dang it!!!!! The Wetlander at least was just fine - it had dried quicker than the Petit. Days like this that make you wish for a nice barn/workshop with plenty of room! [/QUOTE]
