[QUOTE="LFTDJEEP426, post: 203976, member: 4229"] So I started the process of putting the "Frog Spit" on yesterday and today. I sanded the bottom with 80 grit on my palm sander. If the pic loaded you can see that someone wanted to help out. Deke, my lab jumps on everything! So this morning a buddy of mine came over to help mix the stuff while I spray..... Yes I said spray it. My neighbor had a paint gun and said it had a BIG tip for spraying gel coat on boats. Well we mixed the first batch and started spraying. Seemed to not be spraying a ton of material but it was going on very well on the sides, back and 1/3 of the bottom until........ In the course of about 30 seconds (after maybe 5-7 minutes of spraying) it went from nice even spray to chunking to locked up! The stuff set up in the gun! I poured out what was left in the guns can and frantically started rolling the rest out. Well 1/3 of the bottom looks AWESOME but the other 2/3 looked like I furry a couple of handfuls of mulch on my hull and painted over it LOL!!!! Luckily the stuff sanded nicely and even after sanding was still just as slick as what was evenly sprayed. I couldn't believe it. Here is a good pic of the smooth part. And here is the rough part prior to sanding. I still recommend this stuff for sure but maybe add a Little less activator when trying to spray it and be sure there is a BIG tip on the sprayer. I think that was half the problem with my application. I do still have a 1/2 gallon left though. I finally put the motor together as well. I'm going to try and finish up paint tomorrow and take her out for a test run. I'll snap a few more pics too...... [/QUOTE]
