Re: latex paint question
What kind of polyester did you use? Some kinds have wax in them
which comes to the surface to keep air out so they cure all the way
to
the outside. If yours felt completely cured (not sticky) on the
outside before painting, I bet it was that type. Needs to have this
wax scrubbed off for good paint adhesion, I think. But someone else
with more experience may have a better idea, and I don't know
anything
about Zinzer.
P.S. You can get polyester resin without this wax, but I don't recall
what it's called. Makes it much easier if you want to put on another
layer later.

Scuff up the polyester before painting.

Hi,
We just launched my son's 6 hour canoe. The paint rubs right off on
the taped areas- (chine seams). Its glass tape with polyester resin,
primed with Zinzer, water based, 1 coat, with 2 coats of exterior
latex. The luan ply holds the paint just fine, its the taped areas
that are the problem. It sat for a week before launching, so it
should've had time to harden up. What do I do?
thanks,
Brad
We just launched my son's 6 hour canoe. The paint rubs right off on
the taped areas- (chine seams). Its glass tape with polyester resin,
primed with Zinzer, water based, 1 coat, with 2 coats of exterior
latex. The luan ply holds the paint just fine, its the taped areas
that are the problem. It sat for a week before launching, so it
should've had time to harden up. What do I do?
thanks,
