welcome to Tulsa Oklahoma and the boat the internet built we call it that
because it's being built in my front yard by your support and your ideas and
a lot of your sweat sometimes your blood seeker is a 40-ton
motor sailor she's Chinese junk Trigg steel hole twin keel and when she's on
the water she'll be a research vessel for students who have great ideas and
passions and need a ride on the ocean for free and in this episode we're gonna
be spraying on this pearl gray epoxy from PPG all right yes we're gonna watch
the whole thing again the reason for that is the specifications for the paint
this zinc primer apparently leeches zinc salts and that needs to be blasted off
before you put another coat of paint over it you know I tell you what I've
watched copper coat which is the paint that we're planning on using for the
bottom for the ante file now I'm not so sure because there's a lot of people out
there with baling copper coat now the question is is the product or the way
that was put on and then this both of those are looked at with a scientific
eye you really don't know it's just hearsay
so I'm hoping it's the way it was applied and I know the American says
pressure wash off your zinc paint before you paint over it so that's what we're
going to do again fortunately the weather is cleared up horse it looks
like we'll have a dry day tomorrow so we'll be painting them off
yeah it's funny I think I'm just excited about spring paint tomorrow with that
new sprayer but I've never done it before it you know so it's kind of like
rock climbing or going to a job interview or something like that yeah of
course rain clouds you know normally Oklahoma's dry in
August this has not been a normal month
that's what's to die here does nothing yeah yeah we got a bit like Stu doesn't
do sure as hell done this more than we have would you say the set time was on
this 30 minutes yeah I got my phone well it didn't prime with our paint so we're
gonna try and prime it with design link as soon as I get sprayed all right I'm
going to 40 it's at 40 okay should be picking up
she's only pumping paint on one stroke like the down stroke it pulse is when
it's pumping so there's only pump in one direction but so we're gonna switch
pumps there's some prints or inches you shot
those already up I got two ranches oh
that doesn't brush right pay for at least the gun
that's better
we do that one there do that that's a bug he struggled a long way to his death
so we'll have to sand him out and retouch that and I just love the spray
gun you know at the end it was doing like 30 feet before we jam up and have
to twist an all around in hindsight I'd flush a lot more fluid through it
cleaner to get all the little chips of paint out I think that's what I did
wrong but it started working great so the next time we use it it should be
fine too and I got the keel done and I got all the hard-to-reach areas
underneath the boat between the keels Doug let's go figure out what I want to
do about the dead bugs I think I'll come back sand them off maybe mark the spots
with a marker and then come back over and give a little bit more shot of paint
because all this gets covered with coal tar again and the next coat anyway
so we'll have something to fix but overall I just can't say enough thank
you for a single-source industrial coatings for floating out that machine
it is a wonderful machine and I'm happy to get to learn how to use the thing -
so this machine's problem must be in that pump housing there because it's
pumping one direction but not the other so I bet there's a kit I can get to
rebuild it but it was interesting that our 9 CFA American presser in the
backyard when I see em at 100 psi was Aunt Polly supplying there that needed
in both directions now well we try with paint paints gonna be thicker we can use
this short hose cuz I'm just down below today yeah that's what I write I said
that didn't I write chatter this is mark from Louisiana no texture cannon cannon
new coolant tanks are canna joining us for this week let me get a
little pressure off this watch your eyes there we go okay cleans itself up really
good you just let it sit before that bottom part in there we'll
have that dry up on the bottom that looks kind of crappy yeah oh my god yeah
dude look at that and see paint in there too yeah
now any cave there's always the poxy so we're gonna fill this up with em eke a
single-source gave us some of that too
back from Harbor Freight with a brand new variable speed 1/2 inch drill and
some mixers maybe bigger
well we thousand wells that weren't weld it though
well fixing them up this is the picked up flying for the small and airless
sprayer we've had it soaking with a me K for a day now that's the paint coming
out of it
so you want ice you can remove the dead bugs from your windshield look at Alan
alright he's down here is where he died Lisa Knight that nice little white mark
I may not need the marker draw my attention I think this was a formation
and flight lead just bit it right there and the restaurant tail there behind it
my fear in places I've been sanding it off I won't come back if that's just
back up then and the reason is this is actually our topcoat up here this
American lock to is UV resistant it makes a good top coat but where I had
too much I sprayed on with that big sprayer I got to sand that off and fix
it up see I had things like this this is just one that's not bad enough I think
I'll leave it maybe as a reminder if nothing else that you can have too much
spray for your skill level you need a sprayer like I'm not a painter okay that
thing sprays like half a gallon a minute okay so you got to have nice flat
surfaces if you're an amateur like me to do that and even then I've got overlaps
you know so being the amateur I am I got to come back sand those down and come
back with my air sprayer it was nice gentle and soft and cover them back up
take it from me if you're not a professional careful when you get
recommendations from professionals they know how to use their air guns and they
think maybe they I think they they must forget the first day they're on the job
because I guarantee you the first day or they're on that they sucked at it - you
know after years they just forget that overall I'm really happy with this and
it is cool to have that airless sprayer because I mean it really does get the
paint on fast but you're not gonna get it on fast and perfect you're gonna get
it on fast and a mattress but that's okay it's easy to fix
you to drive an offspring
let's do this alright I had it in fast you had a marital now you find him yeah
I like turtle a lot better
look at this these things town with outlets on them no nothing
maybe the rental yard just enables it
drives like a drunk well we either paint this afternoon or tomorrow morning but I
have a sneaking suspicion that our steel up here it's gonna be too hot yep 130
120 point six so we will paint in the morning
so bad even smarted yeah we're waiting on the humidity to go down before we
thank bb-bb-bb-bb-bb-bb-bb b13 oh we can start now Bart's here Alexa what's the
current humidity right now the humidity is 88% oh okay we can go we'd be done
now all 14 gallons right working gallons
under there the puppet 35
at the draw there's 40
I was Bob Paul got ready yeah
okay well this morning is about removing some of the oopsies like the dead bugs
in the history
well I ain't working so we're getting paint on the boat we're gonna use a
roller to roll it out and like just land there's nothing it's working one way
you're hoping to get this on but we did confirm and that pump ain't up to snuff
yet so I think what we're gonna do is we're gonna buy a set of packing seals
for it that must be the problem another roller actually works really nice with
it it is working good I think we just need seals and these things I think we
know how to take apart and clean them out now and the seal kits are on order
so they'll be back in business when we get our seal kits mark said you did all
this Darkrai was nothing wrong he did even
the other gun screwed up and so he rolled that first part up there two for
two today
yeah driving out there you're on the same bus we're outside st. Louis
somewhere she wouldn't give me the address and I wanted to send some male
strippers bike
you
