Enamel is "forgiving" too, as much as any paint is.

I have had great success with Interlux 244 sanding sealer followed by
Rust-Oleum enamel. The "magic" in Rust-Oleum is in their primers,
beyond that they are simply a very, very good fish oil based enamel
with which you can get great results by using a good brush and
brushing the paint our properly.


Hmm, a friend of mine whose father owns an old wooden boat claimed
he used Rust-Oleum. I always wondered why not use a 'real' marine
paint, but, maybe he knew what he was doing all along.

Ten years ago I built a Bolger designed sailboat...the "Teal". I did
this while working 6 days a weeks..often 10hrs/day. Before painting
the hull with System Three products, (WR-155 primer, WR-LPU Topcoat)
I tested the materials on a small movable seat that fits in the
boat. I could not get a uniform, sagfree finish, using a brush. I
gave up the project in disgust. Now retired , Im back at it again.
I'm looking for ideas on what I should use now, nothing exotic, a
one part paint, that will hold up on a bare plywood surface. This
boat will be stored in my garage...seldom in the water. Thanks in
advance. Ron
