painting my 2-paw-9
I am almost ready to paint my nesting 2-paw-9 dinghy but am not sure
how. I have not put the coat of epoxy over the wood and am wondering if I should just color the epoxy. If I put the epoxy on first, what kind of paint should I use? |
If you colour the epoxy the same colour as the paint then paint scrapes won't show as much. If you don't colour the epoxy and paint the boat the same colour as the wood then paint scrapes still won't show as much. You should put something over the epoxy to keep the sun's rays from gradually breaking it down. Parallax ) writes: I am almost ready to paint my nesting 2-paw-9 dinghy but am not sure how.

Can I use some rgular outdoor oil based paint I have left over from making the MiniCups? ordinary exterior grade latex house paint is good. it sluffs off gradually instead of peeling like oil based paints tend to do. I used an acrylic latex house paint on the Dogskff in 1999 and it's still good where it hasn't been scraped and scratched. I used acrylic because that is what they had cheap at the building materials recycle store in a decent colour. However, TF Jones writes that he uses ordinary exterior latex house paint on the boats he builds. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |

Your internet provider may have space set aside for you already. With
some providers, it's part of the unlimited access. They sometimes don't tell you unless you ask. Dan William R. Watt wrote: Parallax ) writes: ... Now, I realize I have no idea of how to post these.
