How about this Stavros

...........write it for the mags' ('cause you might get a couple of bob, always handy for new project materials - like paint?) then do a follow up on Mayhems pages of a re-write answering all the silly questions we ask after reading the first edition?
Not too good for you because of the extra writing but could finish up the REAL difinitive version of what we would all like to know!!!

Yes Stavros, lots of photos - mags won't be interested otherwise. A picture is worth a thousand words and given that many people don't read too well these days...

talking of paint finnish i just primed my higgins boat hull and the primer hasnt dried its still tacky after 48 hrs.i epoxy coated the hull then sanded and applied the primer,its just an outdoor grade primer for wood or metal .any ideas on why this has happened?ive never had this happen before but then ive never used this primer before either.im thinking i might need to remove it all and start again with a different paint,i got this one from wilkinsons and its there own brand so dont buy it!!.

I would personally remove it.
Having been in the building industry for more years than I care to remember I would say this normally occurs if the paint is applied to a greasy or contaminated surface
{ presumably not so in your case} or you have a dodgy batch of paint. {more likely to happen with cheap own brands.}
I would play safe.

Have to agree with Richard remove completely and wash with prepsol then repaint with a proper primer...

Thers a first Roy

martno1fan · « **Reply #33 on:** October 30, 2006, 10:35:26 am »

thanks guys whats the best way to remove it? white spirit,turps or something else?.im taking this paint back to the shop this week i beleive its dodgy like you say.it wasnt even cheap i wish id got a known name now.i paid 8 quid for it .

DickyD · « **Reply #34 on:** October 30, 2006, 10:42:23 am »

I would start with the white spirit and see how you get on.

I dont think it will affect the epoxy though Roy will probably correct me if I am wrong,

Richard

thanks mate ill have a go and see how i get on,any suggestions on a good primer i can use instead of this one?.

DickyD · « **Reply #36 on:** October 30, 2006, 11:49:35 am »

I use Halfords Plasti-kote spray cans for primer and gloss. You presumably wont use the gloss.
You really want one that goes with the rest of your paint ie. enamel ,acrylic or whatever.

cheers i can get the same plasticoat from wilkinsons its probably cheaper i only hope they will give me a refund on this paint i allready have.i dont supose the cold temperature had anything to do with the paint not drying? or maybe not mixing the paint enough before using it?.i shook the tin up before i used it but i never stired it.

DickyD · « **Reply #38 on:** October 30, 2006, 12:26:37 pm »

You were supposed to stir it!!

Martin,

After what just happened I thought you would have learned a lesson, cheap paint cheap finish, and your going back for more, not a good idea,,,

when i said cheap i meant cheaper than halfords but same paint lol,but its possible i didnt mix this paint well enough so i may try it again after stiring it .ill paint a small area and see how it goes if it doesnt dry i know its the paint and not me

.i have used the plasticoat paints on an epoxy hull before so i know they are ok.

Stavros · « **Reply #41 on:** October 30, 2006, 04:40:07 pm »

Well here goes
1 You did not stirr the paint,megga mistake,all the driers sink to the bottom inc pigment,so it will NEVER dry
2 You have hit the nail on the head when you said cold temp,as temp and humidity affect paint drying time
3 Wash off the hull with either white spirit,cellulose thinner or acetone none of these will effect the epoxy coating
4 reprime wiht plasticoat paint
5 Rub primer with 600 grit wet dry
6 Spray with top coat
7 Pat yourself on the back and go for a weel deserved pint

Hi Stavros

Really glad you confirmed my thoughts I was hoping you would show up.

Richard :)

I hope to be spraying my Missouri hull this week, so I have taken Stavros's advice and got all the bits he mentioned, including a 5 litre can of Panel Wipe, its brilliant at de-greasing kitchen cooker hoods, my wife is most impressed, I can see that I shall have no problem getting through 5 litres.
