[quote=catmodding]First day of paint.
I was early, so dried the hull with a cloth.

Then cleaned the hulls with a cleaner that came with the kit

Ready to mix the hardener-compound

When mixed , its rolling time ! I use a lacker-roller and put on 
the paint top to bottom first . Then without putting any pressure 
on the roller, roll it bow to stern. Pot-life is 15 minutes !!
Not sure how to do this? Ask a professional painter.

Arrived at 10.00hrs and 11.15hrs the job was done, what's left is curing 
in the sun for hours.
Important !! Always paint in the morning, This paint needs at least 
6 hours of curing before dew sets in.
