welcome to SBC Kerr the weather is warming up and getting ready to put the
last of our paint on we know that we got holidays on it so we're putting another
layer of coal tar that's kind of the plan all along
because then we're gonna put our bottom coat on our bottom coats a little unique
it's called ABC 3 it's a PPG product and it will bind it to the coal-tar layer as
long as we put it on while the coal-tar layer is a little soft still so we've
pressure washed the hull and our an old friend came back in single service
industrial coatings lone dissenter prayer again we're doing a little
cleanup but still it's still stuffed up do you you sent several products flowed
through it since we had it so we're doing this some checks the filter and a
gun or okay and the hose and cleaning out what we can find
I just think it's par for the course if you have a piece of equipment that
you're gonna loan out to just anybody to use you can expect that when you hear
the next guy at the part you're gonna have a little bit of cleanup work to do
but like I said she's an old friend we know how to do it if you want to see a
video on how to take care of this machine look at Graco x70 we left the
last time to make sure the suction hose is open so we looked at that first and
see what's it's better yeah it's just open did we blow through it now yeah and
check a filter in the gun you'll see what's in there yeah that actually looks
pretty good
maybe we should get another hose
80 degrees in Sun 56 underneath but just fine we need 40 now I know where the
holidays show up I play ball watch the paint nose area like around this
I'll post a link to our holiday video you missed that this is PPG abc3
antifouling the one of the things that makes this special is you can put it on
and you don't have to put your boat in the water immediately so it can stay on
for years and it's a hard antifouling it doesn't a blade into the water or
anything like that it's got a 10 year lifespan copper in it
there's Sony pound buckets alright I've done it my work for the day
now what we're doing is we're playing the wager on the weather game our coal
tar hasn't cured enough especially on the other side of the boat out of the
Sun over here it's me a dippy but on the other is definitely wet so we got some
rain coming in over the night 50% chance but then by 2 o'clock in the afternoon
tomorrow the big deal it's going to be sunny again and 70 degrees so if there
is some rain will dry up and I think the coal tar will still be softness cuz
that's what we were looking for we got to have this coal tar still soft so that
the antifouling will cross link into it and all you do is you go you if you
could read the labels and they'll give you some clues to this but the real
thing to do is I wrote a letter to PPG support and had a guy you know a
managers for Team actually wrote me back and said ok here's what you want to do
you want to braid the surface you got you want to put a new fresh coat of coal
tar on and then you want to put the antifouling on a while it's still
labeled to be have your fingernail pushed into the paint
we're right now you touch it thing comes off on your fingers so tomorrow we're
gonna do it then yeah that's what are you putting everything away yeah well
hurry up man I'm gonna go to bed I'm tired
been a long day see this part in the Sun where it doesn't have a gloss on it
that's dry but I can I can stick my fingernail into it leave a mark so that
would be okay most of us not that even down here I can see it see I left a
fingerprint even that it's too wet and the side that was in the shade all day
is even worse now we're collecting bugs look at Randy falling isn't working
oh we don't have it all yet oh yeah that is really wet wait until tomorrow is
gonna be the way to go we're reinforcing our papers for the rain didn't knock it
off sure doesn't look like he's been arraigned in that desert beautiful
sunset well we made it overnight without a drop of rain and it looks like at
10:00 a.m. here we're gonna have some good weather see I don't usually put my
fingernail in it it is dry of the touch it's perfect thank you Paul that is just
awesome so Paul does tree service and house roof repairs high-end stuff and
also high in construction and remodeling a few little drips of do coming down it
this morning notice wait a couple hours let that
drying up and in the meantime put the paper back up Alexa what's current
humidity
that's not bad Earl watch Mary you got food cable here you go right there
there's one of the bugs we got in it but unfortunately they're just on the
surface and we can just brush them away okay we went tools shopping and the Sun
came out the boat dried off a ready to spray and it's still perfectly soft
madam Jamis service Ilyich Ulyanov Alberto
yeah well you know I don't know what that'd be good
yeah well here sirens pretty soon that's a lot that about your running gun battle
well our paper wasn't quite tall enough and so we got a little bit of red
overspray up on the top of the black but it's gonna look good enough for us
it's it's a the black is all faded anyway that's the way it does it's just
coal tar it'll chalk up and if we want to hide it we could run some little
light sanding over it but yeah I'm sure I'm gonna hide it well I'm very happy to
have that done and many thanks to single-source industrial coatings here
in tulsa and other locations around the United States and this is a fantastic
paint job in much regards to them loaning me either sprayer that made it
so much easier and - if you want a good paint supplier give single-source
industrial coatings a call here in Tulsa ask for Blake and he can set you up coal
tar any PPG product other products as well a fantastic company I work with I'm
very pleased to have worked with them and and you can't you can't go wrong
with them anyway the other thing y'all get asked is why not copper coat and I
was actually looking at putting copper coat on in fact I called copper coat gym
here in the United States and asked him about putting copper coat on on top of
coal tar and the instructions I got from him was to scuff the cop the the coal
tar and put the copper coat on and then I talked to the European guys got
thought well hey I'm gonna gabber ties for you you could use some and they said
yeah sure they put me back in touch with Jim who then said you can't put copper
coat over coal tar so why the story changed I don't know I think it's a good
product I think the company's a little screwed up every once in a while because
the advice I don't like that advice changing especially from the same person
that's just fuckin weird I think copper coat the hardest thing
about it was is and I working where most people fail and if you don't have to do
this outdoors like we did this project god I'd hate to be doing copper coat it
all has to go on one day it can't have water touch it for 24 hours that little
rain shower last night would have screwed us instead of just rolling off
the coal tar and us letting it dry so there's a lot of disadvantages with it
not you have indoor and you're doing the work yourself or
you're supervising the work with copper coat I really think it's a good product
I think where a lot of it goes wrong it's boatyards do it and get in a hurry
and people go home they don't finish the job one day you can understand all these
things if you look at the application instructions for it it is the most
tedious application I've ever seen just for a bottom code so this stuff's
supposed to last 10 years we get 5 out of them I'm elated and it was also a
hard under antifouling so what it means is you got to get out and scrubbed every
one small but we've got the twin kill so we just find a bay pull up in the bay
let the tide go out get out there with some brooms where we can stand on the
ground and scrub it off you know you don't have big enough tides in the
Bahamas but hey swimming in the Bahamas is nice so you can do your bottom is
scrubbing then so I can't be more happy with it the way it came out and to Steve
and Maxine for helping me out and for all the other people thank you very much
we are the boat the internet built you guys have a great day
