: Well I finally completed the end pours. I had to put a lamp inside the boat
: and put the ends in warm water to get it to cure. As it was still a bit
: cool outside, 40 something degrees.
: Now I’m applying System Three LPU for my UV protection. So far it brushes on
: ok, but thin coats need to be applied or I end up with runs. I put the
: first coat on with an expensive brush recommended by S3 but found that the
: cheap foam brushes work better.

: Any advice on applying LPU? Like I said its going ok but not perfect. Some
: brush strokes are visible and I’m getting better at avoiding runs. Will
: the brush marks fill in with more coats or will I need to sand them out?

: Thanks

I think Jim Kozel and I have had many of the same experiences with the LPU. I tried spraying with my HVLP system, but it would dry before leveling. So I rolled it on early in the morning with West System Epoxy Rollers and my wife followed me with a foam brush. We worked right down and around the boat applying finish a section at a time (between stations). By the time we reached the opposite stem we could start the process again. But if the temperature goes up or the humidity goes down, wait a day. This stuff really likes cool temps and high humidity.
