2004年2月4日 · There was a discussion on this a long time ago on Fiberglassics.com. A guy rebuilt a 50s runabout and wanted the splatter. He ended up using a gun, and I can't remember exactly what type or nozzle he used. I almost want to say he used a gun for undercoating, something with a large nozzle, and used low pressure. I can't remember the specifics.

2021年6月13日 · I'm going to be trying to respray the gellcoat on my 1973 trihull. It has a splatter paint look that is really nice, easy to wash, grippy and durable. I'd really like to get it close. I've been worried about using smaller sprayers to get the look because for it to go through the gun, it needs thinned and doesn't "stand" as well.

2012年2月24日 · As far as gelcoat application..well thats just the nature of the beast man. I use a 2 qt pressure pot gun to spray full gel jobs. It requires minimal reduction after additives ( mostly to increase pot life ). But you still have a lot of sanding to do. Gelcoat is not hard to apply. Its a Pain to finish if your not used to sanding for a living.

2007年12月31日 · Re: Duplicating "Splatter" Paint Finish. Texfish, Years ago General Motors used a "Spackle Paint" (it could be bought aftermarket, in a spray can) to give a splatter finish (multicolored) to their trunk interiors. I have seen a few boats with a similar finish on the inside of the hull, on rough fiberglass.

2014年4月7日 · Re: spatter paint effect I got a nice effect on mine using Rustoleum, a Wallpaper Glue brush, and a stick. I put 1/4" of Paint in a Cake Pan dipped the brush in the paint the held the brush about 1 foot above the deck and tapped it with the stick.

2008年9月19日 · quit splatter gunning. lets do some actual testing. first test compression,needs to be within 10 psi on all 6. next test spark,needs to be able to jump a 7/16th" gap on all six when cranking. to test the plug caps unscrew them from the plug wire and test with an ohm meter per the service manual.

2012年7月11日 · Re: Good staples for upholstery? Thanks. The backing boards on my seats are 3/4" marine plywood so plenty of depth for a staple to grip into.

2023年10月14日 · When in the lake put a temperature gun on the engine and recorded 90c and climbing. There's no thermostat on this engine. Removed lower end checked the new impeller everything looks good. Put air to the intake water pipe, air coming out of tell tale. Mechanic mentioned some Mercury's blow steam, I've never heard or seen this happen on a boat motor.

2004年12月15日 · Then we switched to a small hand held scraper. You can go a log way toward removing most of the barnacles with one of those wooden handled scrapers with the curved scraping blade on the end. Keep it sharp and use care not to gouge. Muriatic (hydrochloric) acid won't hurt the gelcoat but wear goggles and gloves for splatter protection.

2008年2月1日 · One is on a roll and the other done by spraying "chopped" strands. Both give the same results but...mat is a consistant and uniform layer needing less skill to apply and chop from a gun depends highly on operator skill. Some chopper gun operators use a red colored tracer strand in the glass that helps them see the thickness easier.
