Yeah, thanks for clearing up those details about water drag on the hull also. I never would have considered that as a factor in prepping a boat hull but you are so right, it does become a factor even with vehicles when they are geared to run at over a hundred miles per hour also! Just the drag of the air on a surface and the impact of normal debris on that finish can peel it away if it isn't done to specifications. You wouldn't think that a June bug, for example, could pose a danger until you see what it can do when it hits a finish at 130 mph!!!

I figured that, with the advancements in refinishing products that was taking place back in the late 80's and on into the new millenium, that I was out of the loop with knowledge of what is available to the refinisher today. There was so much happening so fast back then that it was difficult to keep up with all the new products in the prep and refinishing field so I can imagine what it is like today.

Hey, it looks like you are on top of your game with the gun also. I can relate to that feeling when you feel that extra "sense" to know the difference between putting on so much as to cause runs and getting that perfect layer on that will flow out to a glass smooth finish without further work. That is a really cool feeling. I couldn't lay down a coat today to save my soul like I could when I was at the top of my spraying game!!

Nice job and a really educational reply. Thanks alot for the information.
