John D 23 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Trailered boat. Will it withstand carpeted bunk rash from frequent launching. I've been led to believe that easy to sand, easy to chafe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
See Level 1,187 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Interprotect gets very hard and not easy to sand smooth, that's why it's important to apply it smooth to start with. Best is spraying it, but not recommended for amateurs as it requires a fare amount of specialized spray and safety gear. If you roll it on use a short nap roller and make sure you don't leave any tracks, like the edge of the roller tends to do. Wet sand with a block to suit. 80,120,320 grit...back side of 320 Oh, and keep it off the bunks for a few days to harden up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F_L 125 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Interprotect sands ok if you get to it the next day. If you wait until fully cured it's hard as hell and will double or triple your sanding time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voodoochile 41 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Awlgrip 545 Primer. Really hard, can be finish sanded/polished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Controversial_posts 140 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 For a keel job, Best to use alternating grey/white color coats with interprotect. That way you can see how much you have sanded through. Follow up with a final 2x coats grey, then sand to 600/1200grit & apply bottom paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lead instantly oxidizes Grind the lead bright then paint immediately many times this means several separate small repair patches To prevent wicking , Do not apply the primer to naked lead with a roller .. use brush or spray only Quote Link to post Share on other sites
