Re: Spraying WR-LPU

LuckyDip2 — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 14:04:48 -0000

I have been using the System Three paint on the deck and parts of my 22' sailboat. It is the first time I have used a spray gun so this has been a totally new experience for me as I struggle to figure out what will work. I bought a super cheap HVLP system from Princess Auto which normally sells for about $140 but I got mine for $35 on a clearance sale. Making the deck of my sailboat my first project might seem reckless but that was the job I had to do and the paint is very expensive to spend a lot of time practicing.

What I have learned so far:

The System Three base paint goes on much easier than the finish coat. I really had no problem applying it at all. Even if I did not intend to use the LPY topcoat I would be tempted to use their base coat.

The top coat is difficult to get perfect. In fact, I have not achieved anything close to that. I have, however, achieved a coat that looks pretty good and, I think, better than what I could achieve with roll and tip application f any paint.

I can not achieve a totally smooth surface. If I apply very light coats the surface is textured (orange peel?) at best and rough at worst. If I apply enough paint to get a smooth coat, I also get runs. Runs are a real pain. Sanding them off is very difficult - which shows how tough this paint is - even before it cures. The best I got was a consistent texture that, oddly enough, is actually quite attractive and not out of place for the deck of the boat where a sheen Is not always desirable. As it turns out my wife really likes the looks and thinks I am a genius - so there you go.

No can do Holmes. I actually bet your farm on these games too. To help pay off the debt, I've hired you out as a cabana boy for the lovely ladies from the West Side of Vancouver. BTW, you're to meet Agnes for tea in Kerrisdale this Sunday at 1pm.

Holmes — Mon, 02 Jul 2012 22:07:20 -0000

What happened, Sluggo? You were 3 for 4 in the quarter finals, so I bet the farm based on your posts. Then you go colder than an ice cube on Pluto...

Say, do you have an extra room I can move into until I can get my car back?

I can't divulge my predictions this early. I need to sit on it and mull it over. At this point in time I think I'm going to go with the 1972 Dutch team.

Well I certainly hope you hid behind a tree/bush! I'm still hoping they'll put up a fence and hide the hideous wall. Otherwise, I'm growing bamboo on that side of the house.

Here's another conversation with Emma:

E: mommy, we can't fit a horse in our yard?
M: nope
E: a horse can't live in the park behind our house?
M: ah..nope
E: But, we can keep a horse in a stable right? That's solves it, I want a horse for Christmas
