Tacky Primer

[ProfessorM]

You know the more these discussions come up the more confused I get. I do enjoy them but man I get a headache everytime read them. Every time I get to the point where I say OK this is what I will do someone else goes and makes me think about some other way. This is probably why I got 100 plugs turned sitting down cellar with out any type of sealer or finish on them. Suck's being someone who can't make a decision. Guess I should read my little saying below and just do something You know either sh%t or get off the pot. Paul

Paul,
I would be willing to bet, that no two builders on this sight, do everything ion the process, the exact same way. A lot is trial and error, I make plenty of errors, but hopefully learn something from them. I just hope, I am not repeating the same mistake over and over, I'm part Swede, so that is a possibility ... But.. yer right, I've been there too, a lot of it is "fear factor" so ya gott chit or get off the pot... I would be willing to bet again, that you will do some amazing finishes, I can sense that from what I've seen of your aluminum work.
Dive on in, and you will do some great stuff, I am sure!

Paul I tell ya i'm the same way. Like Karl says, everyone has their own way and i listen to everybody, read all the labels, call the maufactuers, and still hope i'm doin it the right way. Ya got your oil guys, your waterbased guys,urethane guys,oil/urethane guys, polyurethane guys,non seal cedar guys and who knows what else.

Than ya got your oil paint guys,acrylic paint guys, e tex guys, 5min epoxy guys, 30 min epoxy guys, mirror coat guys, auto clear guys, urethane guys,and who knows what else.

All i know is i hang all the plugs guys give me as they mean too much to me to get hammered so i don't know who's hold up the best.

I don't care about my own when i fish them, i just don't want the ones i give away to have the finish slide off like an old boot, like CS says, and have a guy hooked up to piece of wood with the finish hangin off the tail hook like an old sock.

CS took a pic of the outlaw mix guy for his avatar.

Thanks Dave and Karl good to know I am not the only one. You are right about the fear factor. I just flushed, it is time to start experimenting. P.

Ya CS, while u r still alive one more question. Do ya use the wilbond between paint and epoxy.

I used wilbond 30 years ago on 3 plaster bedroom ceilings that were cracked before using sand paint. Not a crack since. That paint is on there to stay.
