[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 418614, member: 15636"] [b][size=5]Part 2[/size][/b] - After prepping, vinegar wash/sand and priming: Mixed up some G-Flex flexible epoxy and slathered it on using a 1" wide flexible metal paint scraper blade (new). Using a plastic single-serving cup, like kid's applesauce comes in, that is maybe 2-3/4" round by not even 2" deep with a slight bowl taper to it, this entire side about 4" by 8+ feet was done just by mixing up 3/8" deep mix of both Parts A & B. That G-Flex covers really well! And it is tenacious on properly prepared surfaces, as I've intentionally tried to gouge it off using a worn but good quality paint scraper blade and man ... you really need to dig at it and apply muscle to even skim a surface or piece off. We also got lucky, as on the port side, the only crevice corrosion showing where the boat sits on the bunks is at the forward part of the bunk, a spot no longer than 4" total, as shown in the picture. Glad we caught it now! [/QUOTE]
