Default RE: PassTime Perigee Build thread

And now the moment of truth - opening the epoxy, mixing, and applying. Since this is a first base coat, I decided to do yet another experiment. How about brushing on the first coat? If it sands as easy as I remember, the brush ridges will not be a problem. It would save having to clean the sprayer, etc, and still do what I want, fill the low spots. So that's what I did. Experimental surface - 1/2 of the stab. Mixed equal parts of A + B, and brushed the bottom. Too thick for comfort. Added 1 part reducer, and it brushed the top of the stab great. That's the photo you see, and the brush, etc. is in the spray booth so the fumes will exit to my garage.

Yet another note to self, epoxy paint will dissolve a plastic cup!
