Well, we got the sanding done and painted the inside of the Brockway
yesterday. Battleship grey was in the Goof isle at Home Depot,
perfect, flat, nice. It was pretty hot so I had to move quickly, but I
was using a power roller with a pad attachment too. Great for doing
the inside, does a much better job than the sprayers I have used in
the past. Rollers with a "tip" method brush is still the best way to
go for wood boats.

Time today to flip her over and do the bottom, that will be much
easier.

You used flat house paint on a boat? *:)

When I was painting wood boats, and I did a whole lot of that, since it
was the job for the relatively unskilled at the boat yard (this was
before the days of high tech paint), we used nice brushes to put on
paint, not rollers, so we could work in the paint. We even brushed on
bottom paint on the smaller boats.

But, if you're using flat house paint, it'll flake off soon enough...so
I guess it doesn't make a difference.

At least you got the aisle right, eh?

BTW, the word "isle" usually is used in reference to an geographical
island...a land mass surrounded by water.

Where in hell did he say he used house paint, dip****?
Also, I take it you've never heard of the tip method.- Hide quoted text -

But I did use housepaint, It's a plywood work boat, it just needs to
breathe...- Hide quoted text -

That may well be, but the fact is, Harry was making, as usual an
ASSumption based on.....nothing.

House paint is pretty much all they sell in the goof aisle of Home
Depot. It was a pretty safe assumption.
