Super Anarchist. I think I might have a clue to this mystery. OK, pretty sure the J100 isn't Stars and Stripes Blue. The other boats are all Stars and Stripes Blue, but the slightly lighter ones are Awlgrip S&S blue; the darker ones are Alexseal S&S Blue.
repainted my awlgrip hull with Alexseal last month. The flag blue paint was 37years old. Just worn out with scratches and small dings. Ditto the rig in Matterhorn white, but the surface of that had started to break down and was getting a rough feel to it. Suggest buffing with Awlcare with polisher with a foam pad.
2,625. 867. Long Island Sound, Connecticut USA. Oct 23, 2004. #4. To do it yourself, Interlux Interthane is much more user-friendly. They provide detailed instructions for the consumer-user, and also have comprehensive info on their website as well as an 800 customer service number for hand-holding and specific questions. Awlgrip doesn't seem ...
yes, it has been shrink wrapped, but peeling is not generally in the are covered by shrink wrap. The first inkling of a problem came this summer, when removing tape used to mask off the hull when the teak toe rail was varnished. the tape was left on too long, and when it was removed a few little pieces of awlgrip came off with it. obviously ...
0. Jun 5, 2007. #5. first_to_finish said: Just about ready to spray a coat of Awlgrip on the boat after many, many hours of sanding and fairing. The paint color I am considering is the AwlGrip Bright Aluminum color.
Anarchist. 928. 5. pnw. Mar 23, 2016. #2. I've got a 10 year old blue awlgrip painted hull. the usual small dings and etc. Awlgrip says don't wax, apparently because there is: 1.) no benefit in longevity, and 2.) the wax must be maintained. The first may be true, but it can sure look shinier, the second sounds a lot like more wax at the start ...
My new (old) boat has an Awlgrip paint job on the topsides. It is in great shape, and I want to keep it that way. I have been advised by a few people, and by the Interlux site to use ONLY Awlwash and Awlcare for washing and maintaining the finish. Thoughts?
According to the Awlgrip technical data sheet, to test if a surface needs priming due to a poor base, you make a 2”x2” square and use a razor blade to make vertical and horizontal slices every 1/8” in the surface to be painted and put a piece of duct tape over it, press well into place and pull it back off.
Long Beach, CA. Apr 24, 2005. #3. The Awlgrip will produce a bit harder finish than the Perfection. Perfection was formulated to be easy to roll & tip ---- so since you are going to spray I'd probably just go with the Awlgrip. Cost is a push: PYS has Perfection at $55/quart and the Awlgrip at $52.
Surfers Paradise, Australia. Jan 1, 2004. #3. I've helped a friend with this type of repair - successfully (the second time around) used epsom salts. LIGHTLY sprinkle the epsom salts over the painted area while still wet. Salts will fizz giving the non-skid surface. Simple hose off when paint is dry.
