If you don't want roller lint, try a redtree 3/16 nap mini-mohair roller. I use them for epoxy paint like Alexseal that has agressive solvents, and they last pretty well. UHMWPE plastic works well for trailer bunks and other things that need to slide. Thanks for the tip on scoring the tape. I'm using Dynel and graphite filled epoxy for the same purpose on a wooden kayak skeg, and getting that tape off was a bear.

I'm a newbie to your video's and find them very well put together. Would stainless steel rivets offer more strength. There are also air operated rivet guns that would get in closer spaces ! I had the floats welded on cost over $500.00 he did a perfect job I cut the handles off the back so nothing can be tied off or snagged on them also changed the drain plugs to type you tighten with a wrench ! I think I would used a shop vac to get some of the dust off then wipe it down !

You need a roller knap that is made for solvent based paints. It also helps if you wrap painters tape around the entire nap and pull it to de-shed the Knap prior to use.

@@SendItJonBoats yeah, I dealt with the same problem every time I would use oil based products. Usually it’s not a problem when you spray oils on, but when you roll them, there are specific roller naps that are for latex/water based paints, and others for oil/solvent based products. The latex naps will shed like crazy in oil paints. Took me a long time to figure that one out.

Looks like a great bottom coat product, and according to the website it will stick to just about anything including fiberglass (but not to UHMW). I see it is _not_ recommended for full time saltwater use as well. I know a lot of people who use different colors for each coat of their anti-fouling paint, it does make it easier to know when you need to reapply it, and they've got LOTS of colors.

I always used stealflex/2000 back in the day. Couple tricks maybe for whoever interested. As far as primers go don’t bother leave bare aluminum sand blast is ok but 24 grit is better if you got a flat hull. Clean with 90% rubbing alcohol AFTER you blow it off or vacuum all the dust AND wash with dawn/soap and water. When you apply epoxy use the finest nap hair roller you can find. 1/8”... apply a coat front to back and once you get to back if front is still tacky start again. If it’s not you fked up.... Only two coats. 3 depending on thickness just messes up and the thicker an epoxy is the easier it chips in bigger pieces... Once you apply second coat just peal tape off and razor as you go but if it’s still wet you can just peal tape off for a good line. And then take a hair dryer or 2 is better to the whole deal while it’s drying. It’ll help flatten it out so you get a car paint type of finish not wavy. Especially if you used a good fine nap roller. So. Deeper scuffs the better. Wash. No dust. Alcohol. Apply whole coats. And only apply second coats to a wet coat. Super fine nap roller. Hair dryers. Let sit twice as long as recommended.

Question: I have a 12 foot Orlando Clipper V hull aluminum center console boat with a 15hp Johnson outboard motor, top speed is about 23 mph. My problem is I have a small leak on the bottom of the boat somewhere. I've tried to repair it with silicone and it worked to a degree but did not seal it completely. Because the boat goes pretty fast the water friction on the bottom of the boat is high. I'm looking for a liquid application like solvent or paint. What product do you recommend that would permanently fix the leak.
@SendItJonBoats
@SendItJonBoats Год назад
It is a boat, not a submarine... a little water in the boat is not going to hurt anything dude. My boat has like 19 leaking rivets and we fishi with 10 plus gallons of water in the boat and it floats just fine. Either replace the rivet, or just leave it alone. Quit trying to smear junk on it.

I am happy with it so far. Only been 2 seasons and no real wear yet. I would never want to get stuck again without it though. Slides off the mud much easier.

Awesome job!!! I'm fixing to pick up a plastic jon boat (Field & Stream Sportsman) for cheap. Would you ever paint a plastic jon boat, and if so, how would you do it and what would you use?
@SendItJonBoats
@SendItJonBoats 2 года назад
Plastic is super hard to paint and get it to stay stuck for a long period of time. Check over on my hydro dipping channel (ATF Hydrographics) I got a video all about prepping plastic for paint.

How much strength do you think it adds to the rivets bouncing of timber
@SendItJonBoats
@SendItJonBoats 2 года назад
I don't think anything adds strength to rivets, if you got bad rivets they need to be replaced before putting any bottom coating on.

It is not made to seal rivets, and I do not recommend any goop, slop, paint, roll on, stick icky, gluey junk to seal bad rivets. Drill the bad rivet out, put a new one in and do it right.

@SendItJonBoats
@SendItJonBoats 3 года назад
Bonds to fiberglass so long as it is properly prepped. I have not tested it for abrasion but I know the airboat guys have been using it for years and they say it works well. It will need to be touched up in the future but that is easy, clean, scuff, and put on another coat.
@chevyon37s
@chevyon37s 2 года назад
It does fairly well if you keep in mind it’s a sacrificial coating, and you will have to reapply eventually dependent on use. I have 2 years on my fiberglass layout boat bottom, and I think I did 3 coats of just gatorglide (no gator base) on top of the gel coat after sanding it. And I have minimal wear through on one spot and a few scratches from rocks. I drag the boat over dry land a bit and I didn’t notice any real reduction in difficulty to drag it, but it’s easier to slide on and off my trailer for sure. Personally I probably wouldn’t put it on a wave runner unless you really beach it every single time you ride it to a sandbar or something, but even then. You’ll either be recoating gator glide or gel coat at some point.

@@SendItJonBoats thanks for your info. Also i want to thank you for doing the video. The effort and education was very well done and helped me tremendously in my personal research of protecting my investment. Yamaha has this material that they refer to as nano cell. From what the other yamaha pwc owners have shared with their experience with the stuff, it has some real bad issues. Ive seen it delaminate in sections so big it's scary. If you get a small hole, the pressure from the water getting in the hole while riding has made it disentegrate terribly. You may get other owners like myself looking for a solution. Im more in tune with a preventative maintenance Solution to a future would be problem. Yamaha has a serious issue with the malfuntioning properties of their nano hulls. To make the skis light an perform well, they made these fragile hulls. I dont want to lose my investment when i know i can strengthen the hull with the right product. I am comparing products to see what i want to use. I just know that the gator glide is on my list. I really the product is great from my opinion or your very well done video. Thank you. I hope to be a customer soon!

Why are most jon boats "roller" painted as opposed to sprayed? You would assume that because of the uneven surfaces on a jon, spray would almost always be the application method of choice.

No need to repaint, just scuff it real good and apply right over the old paint so long as it is not peeling. If it is peeling you will need to sand it all off. But yes it can go over fiberglass.

No, nothing will ever completely seal the bottom of a boat permanently. I have tried it so have many others and it will always fail eventually. Best thing to do if you have leaks is to fix the actual leak, not try to seal it. Will be doing a video on this soon.
