Re: How to, or, How not to Restore a boat.
I assume you mean for the floor? 1/2" is common in boats this size for floor. Lighter than thicker material and plenty strong for a floor in a bass boat.<br /><br />For the incompatible question? Got me on that one...If it's just orange peel look, I'd wet sand it smooth and shoot it one more time with the same clear.<br />If it looks like "crinkle" finish or "fisheye"...it means something was imcompatible. Alot of time a "crinkle" finish is due to using too much thinner / reducer in the clear. It eats into the color coat. Not enough time between coats can also cause that.<br />Causes are endless, Figuring out the problem can be maddening. Start with the paint store and see if they have heard of the same problem using the same products before.Originally posted by Speedwagon:<br /> So why'd you go with 1/2" ply, as opposed to 5/8 or 3/4"?
