It's coming up to the time again to get the boat out for maintenance and repaint. Since the demise of Sikkens at the hand of International Paints, I have used several others including Rylards and International and NONE of these, or others I've used are a patch on what Sikkens was.
With Sikkens, I was able to apply with a roller and my partner would lay it off with a brush. All this with no 'lines' showing where the paint has started to dry. In addition, the finish left by Sikkens was brilliant and actually looked very professional. Application this way with inferior products is simply not possible. Spraying would improve the situation but is not practical and not an option unfortunately.
My question is, can anyone recommend a paint that flows properly and looks right when done? i should note that I have tried various ways of trying to improve laying off qualities that include various levels of temperature, thinning and Owlatrol(?) to inhibit early drying. None of these methods has worked.
Our boat is wood and the repaint is for the entire hull. This is why laying off is so important.
Thanks in advance
