First Coat on Deck

First Coat on Deck

Well I may have figured out this HVLP gun because when I sprayed the deck today it turned out quite a bit better than yesterdays attempt at the hull. Actually I think I was laying on too thick of a coat yesterday and today I set the gun to atomize a fine mist about 6" tall which went on with a lot more confidence . I didn't fel like I had to rush through for fear of getting it on too thick. Only glitch was when I went back and tried to spray the thin section between the coaming and the deck, I got a little bit more on the deck(where I had already sprayed) and wound up with a very small sag in the varnish just in one small area. I believe this will be an easy fix, but the fine mist will allow for many more fine coats on top whereas the bottom is just about done I do think.
