Today I was in the yard teaching a friend large area gelcoat repair, my neighbor who has known me for about a year and seen me with my other boat goes "Nathan how do you know so much about this boat stuff" I laughed and said Boat works today on KZfaq for the last 6 years. You really are the best of the best. Thank you! Your the Don Casey of the millennials for sure. So I hope for the next 40 years you will be the reference of boat hull repair information.

You call that a paint, but correct me if I am wrong, doesn't that behave more like a resin because it uses a catalyst and is not simply air cure?

I have a 21 foot cuddy cabin. Do you think putting this paint on the hull is a good idea? Will the paint wear through fast or damaged badly going on and off the trailer?
@boatworkstoday2 жыл бұрын
As with any topside paint I would not recommend using it below the waterline. Traditional bottom paint would be a better option :-)
@jfelix76508 жыл бұрын
Andy, great show again. So, no tipping with a brush with this paint? Good news if not and easier for the DIYer. Too, this was a flat surface, do you think this paint will flow the same when painting a vertical topside section without running? Again, great and thorough video. Thanks
@susanc.80098 ай бұрын
Wouldn’t the paint be applied more evenly if you quickly applied to the whole area and then rolled back over?

I haven't watched all of your videos, mostly because I am just so busy that I don't have alot of time to watch alot of TV or videos. But I would like to ask you a question. I'm rehabbing a 15' 1988 Rogue Eagle fiberglass bass boat. The hull and transom are in really good shape. There's a couple of superficial spider cracks in gelcoat at the rear. And then 2 very small cracks on each side of the motor on the transom. They don't flex at all, and they are small really. But I want to do this right. It's my first boat, and first time working on one. I'm a carpenter/contractor and have a pretty good skill set and I am confident in my abilities, and I'm sure those skills will translate well to this project. The previous owner did a REALLY BAD spray paint job on it. What I need to know is, do I sand the old paint off, or use some sort of stripper. Will I damage the fiberglass if I sand it? I sanded a small area, and I also used goof off graffiti stripper on a small area. Sanding is definitely quicker. Is that ok to do? I know I'll have to hand sand some crevices and other precarious areas, and I'm ok with that. I just want to do it as fast as possible because I don't have alot of time while I'm at where I am. I'm leaving to go back home to Virginia in a month and a half, and I'd like to do this in my spare time and be able to take it out here in Connecticut at least once before I leave. Also, I'm planning on rolling it. What paint do you recommend? This Quantum 99 in this video? And I want to do like an emerald green w/metallic flake. Does Quantum 99 have that color that you know of. Any advice you have is most welcome. I fully understand if you don't have time to respond and answer my questions, as I'm sure you get several. I've made an exhausting internet search, but I get conflicting results. Thank you for your time making your videos. If you have any videos where you repaint a fiberglass bass boat, I'd definitely be interested in it if you can point me towards it. As I said, I haven't watched but a couple, and I like what you do. Thanks again and be well

@nathanhoff49676 жыл бұрын
love your videos! Tons of great information. My question is how do you think this paint stands up to the epifany yacht paint? Are they comparable or is the epifany better even though it requires tipping?
@davidhefner56688 жыл бұрын
I'm restoring an old fiberglass MFG boat. It's a typical 14 ft runabout. MFG made the first Corvette bodies. Anyway...this particular boat has over two hundred screw holes that I filled with an epoxy/talc mixture. The word is that polyester gelcoat is not compatible with polyester gelcoat. However, I watched you video where you proved that to be wrong if proper prep. Being the boat is old, sky blue in color, finding an exact match of gelcoat is out of the question and I really don't feel like the idea of all the sanding and polishing that goes with that process. I did it before on a kayak I build long ago and it's easy to sand through too much. I'm now thinking of painting with Quantum 99. Spraying actually. I think I might like it do to its repair ability. Do I need to use a PRIMER over the old gelcoat before using this product? Keeping in mind of all those screw holes I filled with epoxy.

It's never a bad idea to prime first, but they claim that it's not necessary. Personally I would just to make it easier to see imperfections before applying the paint!

Hi Craig, yes there is but the patch will not be blended. Basically prep the area and roll / tip on some fresh paint over the damaged area. It isn' t noticeable from a few feet away, but up close and personal you'll be able to pick it out ;-) Hope this helps!
