Re: [bolger] Re: Bought paint!

The reducer is nasty stuff, mostly toluene I think. I would not use any
2-part system indoors unless I had a supplied-air respirator. My project
was outdoors.

Yes, but it called for a water-based latex-type primer, believe it or not.
No fumes in either paint or primer. A pretty nice product (SW Tilecad II).

For what it's worth, I had good results with Sherwin-Williams Tileclad II
2-part epoxy on my scooner. It's pretty hard paint, although not all that
glossy at least as I brushed it on. I used black.

Get the manufacturer's fact sheet for the product -- that will tell you what
dangers there are and how to deal with them. Your supplier can give you
this.

If its like the Endura 2 part epoxy primer, the fumes are potentially
lethal. Buy a good mask with filters approved by OSHA for organic fumes,
make sure you have good ventilation and send the kids and dog to play
upwind. Also use gloves to keep it off your skin, and glasses to keep it
out of your eyes. I managed to flick a tiny drop into the corner of my eye
wiping the brush over a corner and it stung like crazy -- used glasses after
that.

I used throwaway brushed and rollers as the thinner was also highly toxic,
and I didn't want the additional exposure or the problem of disposing of the
used thinner/cleaner. The brushes can go in the garbage as soon as they
cure hard. I rinsed the empty cans out with the mixed dregs of primer and
catalyst, so that any remains also cured.

The above sounds pretty paranoid, hopefully your primer is less toxic, but
read the manufacturers spec sheet to find out for sure.

Jamie Orr

PS I used plastic liners in my paint tray -- the primer eventually ate
through these, so I went to a more expensive, chemical resistant liner.

I haven't opened a can of acetone in a while so I can't really
compare
the two. I felt light headed after painting for about an hour. I
should also mention that my sense of smell seems to have deteriorated
over the years, my wife smelled the reducer and thought it very
strong.

I hope I'm not insulting you by stating the obvious, but you did also
buy the appropriate reducer for the 404/414 epoxy primer? Your
message
only mentioned the primer itself. I found the reducer for the primer
to have very strong fumes. This was in an open garage with a strong
fan blowing. I would probably use a fume filtering mask if I ever
used
it again. For the future West Marine stocks these paints, thats where
I bougt mine. I don't know how their prices compare to Jamestown.

I also noticed that decent paint is expensive. Painting the boat (a
Junebug) was the most demanding part of the construction. In the end
it is still only about a 5 foot finish, depending on how the light
hits it.

Richard,

I'm glad you found great service from Jamestown Dist. I've always
been more than happy with them. Great stuff at good prices, and they
back everything up with excellent advice and service. I was a buyer
for a major boat supply retailer, and a vendor went out of business
on us. I went to Jamestown Dist., and asked them if they could supply
us with the items. They came back the same day with a quote, terms,
and said they could ship in a few days after they got the purchase
order. The numbers we needed were more than they normally kept on
hand, so it would take them a couple of days to ramp up. I gave them
our projected orders, and they never once let us down.

Here's an example. I ordered some nails, oarlocks and sockets, and
glue for a boat I built this summer. I wanted the stuff shipped
Second Day UPS to my office, which cost $12. About ten minutes later,
I got a call from the woman who took my order. She asked if my
address was a commercial address. I said yes, and she told me that
UPS will guarentee two day delivery from one commercial address to
another. She said that the difference wasn't huge, but she though I'd
like to know. The shipping dropped to $7.

They've won a customer forever. I send a lot of people to them.
Service, service, service...

Take care,
Pete Reynolds

hand, so it would take them a couple of days to ramp up. I gave them
our projected orders, and they never once let us down.

Here's an example. I ordered some nails, oarlocks and sockets, and
glue for a boat I built this summer. I wanted the stuff shipped
Second Day UPS to my office, which cost $12. About ten minutes later,
I got a call from the woman who took my order. She asked if my
address was a commercial address. I said yes, and she told me that
UPS will guarentee two day delivery from one commercial address to
another. She said that the difference wasn't huge, but she though I'd
like to know. The shipping dropped to $7.

They've won a customer forever. I send a lot of people to them.
Service, service, service...

Take care,
Pete Reynolds
