    Anyone wanting to know about primer. Click Here.

    Avattman, I have not seen a post where anyone has tried rolling or bruching on etch primer. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. However, the primer and catalyst are very very thin. It really isn't like using paint at all. It is all most the consistentcy of sugar water. I really think it...

    Hey Yall, I need some advice from everyone. I went to my local parts store today and was gonna buy some self etching primer for my boat since I heard it was the best thing for bare metal.

    Hey man, so ready for you to cut it. Its gonna be awesome if it works out. As far as the 41 lb. thrust trolling motor goes, it should do fine. It really all depends on how much weight you put in the boat, such as decking, outboard, angle iron, etc... I have a 40 lb. thrust on my 12 ft. jon boat...

But if your like me and dont see spending $250.00 on...
