A Mans House

msbhammer · #1 03-24-2007, 09:06 PM

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 !!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

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

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.

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

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

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...
