[QUOTE="sonny1, post: 505389, member: 32555"] Got four coats on and getting ready for final coat. Just a bit to tacky and needs to set longer. Used a little more 200 thinner on this batch but seeping into the seams. Went to Wal-Mart and found some better rollers. They get mushy but it just take longer for them to become garbage. A few minor runs believe by the time am done you will not be able to tell. Tired and hurt but can't stop now. When the last coat of primer sets up we paint. Total Boat recommends applying first coat of paint when primer passes the thumb test. Really glad I got good lights in the shed. Gonna run out of daylight. They say you can let the primer set up all the way but then you have to come back and sand then apply primer again and paint after primer passes thumb test. That sounds like a royal pain and would rather pass on that. Much to my surprise they also say that you should let the boat set for a minimum of five days to allow for total curing. [/QUOTE]
