I had the same problem with the ice breaker ram on the front of my boat - just got to keep going with thin coats and it works.
LOOKS AWESOME KGK - it is some slippery chit for sure
time for a reset on your shop too -

Applied the gator base this weekend. IF I had a flat bottom it would have been easy! but it was a giant PITA to paint a ribbed boat. Hrdest part was getting it down to bare metal. Previous owner had one hell of a paint job. 10534735_10204040972882037_4056627141790251937_n.jpg 10157332_10204047394362570_906562647870017759_n.jpg 10570428_10204047395802606_672861485729552147_n.jpg |

Looks like you did it right, good work! You won't be disappointed. Were you rolling up and over the ribs? That is the best way. |

careful spaying it, you can get it on to heavy and it wont cure right. You could spay and back roll using the same hotdog roller and it works well. |
