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.- Hide quoted text -

Not at my Home Depot. There's all types of paint there.


Artists watercolors? Automotive lacquer? Anti-fouling Bottom paint?
Model airplane enamels? In the goof aisle? Really?


Here's a clue, dopetard - The name of the place is H-O-M-E Depot.
Pretty damned clever of them, eh?- Hide quoted text -

Where did I say exactly what other paints were available there, idiot?
Are you really saying that each and every item Home Depot sells must
be for a home? I wonder where in my house I'll use the receiver hitch
I bought there, as well as the marine carpet moron......


I said that chances are close to, or at, 100% that all paint in the
"goofs aisle" at Home Depot is housepaint. Do you dispute that?


If you do, then you are a bigger idiot than I, or anyone else,
imagined.- Hide quoted text -

Yes, I DO dispute it! As a matter of fact, this afternoon I need to go
to Home Depot, and I'll go to the oops paint aisle (they don't call it
goofs!) and I'll take a picture of paints that are not housepaint,
okay?


Bring me back a coffee, too. Milk, no sugar. Thanks.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, I know, you've realized what a blow hard you are. Almost as good
as your new lover Harry.


Harry's obviously not my new lover, so you can stop the jilted
girlfriend act.
