Thank guys. It was a 3M full face model. I read the chemical list to the 3M rep on the phone. She told me what to order.
Shop duties have me pulled away from the build for now.

Hi Eric,

Full face respirator is the way to go, plus you will need it for the Monstaliner :wink: I should have done my research and bought one of those as well :oops: :roll:

Good Morning, The respirator performed well. I'm not dizzy after using the EMC primer. :)
Test number two. I mixed four ounces. Put on respirator and rolled it over the bare spots.
This time the primer didn't smell like a dead animal fell in it. It was still very sticky after a minute.
Perhaps the MEK or what ever chemical ate through the solo cup is attacking the roller, I don't know. :roll:
I think this primer is best suited for a spray set up, which I'm not going to do. I covered the places I think could cause issues with top coat.
I've had enough of this. After I sand this I'm calling the primer work done.
I'll move forward and put the epoxy graphite on the bottom. If the paint doesn't stick to the primed surface then I'll haul this out back and strike a freaking match. :wink:

Not to worry she would look good with just primer. Sort of the PBR look like you showed earlier :lol:

That boat will turn heads. You'll have a hard time getting her in and out of the water. You'll be mobbed with drooling on lookers.

Hi Eric,
:lol: strike a match ? Bro, so many times that crossed my head :lol: Looking great.

Why not S3 High Build ? Water based and zippo fumes.

I thought by using surface primer I could lighty sand over the trouble spots as it would not build as heavy. This EMC stuff orange peels worse than S3. Next time I will only use the S3. I just prefer it.
