A Mans House
 

As we all know, a man's house is his Castle....and or garage/repair shop. With this Castle is the King, "Me" ;D
I decide where I can and cant work on my V. So today, it's the kitchen and no women will deny my work space. ;D
Now, do not deny these words of wisdom just because I might have had a few cold ones while doing the first coat of this crappy interlux paint, and the wifey went out of town for the weekend. ;D
So grab your hobbies and repairs and drag them on into the house my V20 brothers and get to work. !!!!!!! ;D
The King of the castle has spoken !! ;D At least until 5 pm Sunday. Thats when the wifey gets home and I better have my mess cleaned up. :-/ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

At 32 bucks a quart for Interlux, Awl-Grip being more, I decided to use some left over Interlux paint that I had. But I had the best brushes and rollers you can get. So what happens, lint or whatever, parts of the strans of the roller get left in the paint. >:( >:( >:( >:(
I HATE PAINTING !!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Probably grilled cheese crumbs in the paint. ::)

Re: A Mans House
 

Looks like cigarette ashes, potato chip crumbs and probably donut filling. ;)

Here I'll be Lisa,

DON'T YOU DARE GET ANY OF THAT PAINT ON MY KITCHEN TABLE OR FLOOR.

Hmmm, getting a bit dizzy. Is it the beer or the paint fumes. Maybe its time to crack a window. ;D

looks sweet keep up the good wrok

Re: A Mans House
 

At least your choice of beer is good. You might want to air out the house, I think the Mrs. will notice withing 250 milliseconds of walking through the front door.

As far as the roller goes, when I was in the Coast Guard, we just took a lighter and lightly ran the flame over the surface of the roller to "melt" the little fibers into the mat. It don't take much.

Re: A Mans House
 

the guy that does my fibergalss decks he wraps the rollers in blue masking tape and pull it off before they gelcoat

Re: A Mans House
 

y'know, that martins potato bread has been known to actually spew crumbs even through the bag.

Re: A Mans House
 

I used a foam roller to paint my transom and it turned out real nice. As I rolled it, there were a number of bubbles that came up because of the roller, but all I did was go back over it lightly with the roller and rolled them out. The end result looks pretty nice...

Re: A Mans House
 

Thanks for the ideas. Have matches and gas, will dip roller and go from there on the second coat. ;D

Re: A Mans House
 

Hmmm, I pulled off the hatch to paint it. The cuddy is wide open. And its raining its A$$ off outside right now.
What did I forget to do ? ??? :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Re: A Mans House
