Bottom Paint question
- Thread starter Robski97
- Start date
"Ok so I got info about the bottom paint. No application below 50 degrees."
FWIW - the air temps are what most people think about when looking at that information. I have seen problems where the air reaches the bare minimum 50 degrees but either the paint or the boat hull itself is still well below 50 sitting in the shade - and it only will get worse after application and the sun goes down.
If there is a good or bad way to have a problem this is not one of the 'good' ones to have since it is easily avoidable.
Good luck with the yard and the rat - hope this helps

Not much will grow now.
Why not launch, then powerwash and paint sometime in May/June?
Short Haul will be cheaper than trying to fix a bad paint job IMO.

You can tent off the boat with a blue tarp and put a heater in there?
A big blue tarp is cheaper then a short haul.

Please do not 'tent' a boat and add a whole bunch of heat while painting with Micron CSC or the equivalent without approved positive breathing air equipment (not just filters). You could easily end up severely injured or dead from the Xylenes that are quickly 'baking' off of the paint.
Stay safe so you can boat

What a great ides to haul and paint in mid season right before a trip. If you use a diver you might even find that new paint is not necessary.
You are not doing a 44' yourself are you?? There are some jobs I leave to the yard. In mid season you might get a better price.

That is what I do now.
End of May, mid week haul out.
In the event...say, you do tent your boat and say, you heat it up to say, toxic fume emitting temp in order to bottom paint effectively and say you know...kinda die......Can I have your boat. Just sayin'!!!! <BFG>
