If you don't want roller lint, try a redtree 3/16 nap mini-mohair roller. I use them for epoxy paint like Alexseal that has agressive solvents, and they last pretty well. UHMWPE plastic works well for trailer bunks and other things that need to slide. Thanks for the tip on scoring the tape. I'm using Dynel and graphite filled epoxy for the same purpose on a wooden kayak skeg, and getting that tape off was a bear.

@@SendItJonBoats yeah, I dealt with the same problem every time I would use oil based products. Usually it’s not a problem when you spray oils on, but when you roll them, there are specific roller naps that are for latex/water based paints, and others for oil/solvent based products. The latex naps will shed like crazy in oil paints. Took me a long time to figure that one out.

I'm a newbie to your video's and find them very well put together. Would stainless steel rivets offer more strength. There are also air operated rivet guns that would get in closer spaces ! I had the floats welded on cost over $500.00 he did a perfect job I cut the handles off the back so nothing can be tied off or snagged on them also changed the drain plugs to type you tighten with a wrench ! I think I would used a shop vac to get some of the dust off then wipe it down !

I see it is _not_ recommended for full time saltwater use as well.

It does fairly well if you keep in mind it’s a sacrificial coating, and you will have to reapply eventually dependent on use. I have 2 years on my fiberglass layout boat bottom, and I think I did 3 coats of just gatorglide (no gator base) on top of the gel coat after sanding it. And I have minimal wear through on one spot and a few scratches from rocks. I drag the boat over dry land a bit and I didn’t notice any real reduction in difficulty to drag it, but it’s easier to slide on and off my trailer for sure. Personally I probably wouldn’t put it on a wave runner unless you really beach it every single time you ride it to a sandbar or something, but even then. You’ll either be recoating gator glide or gel coat at some point.

The effort and education was very well done and helped me tremendously in my personal research of protecting my investment. Yamaha has this material that they refer to as nano cell. From what the other yamaha pwc owners have shared with their experience with the stuff, it has some real bad issues. Ive seen it delaminate in sections so big it's scary. If you get a small hole, the pressure from the water getting in the hole while riding has made it disentegrate terribly. You may get other owners like myself looking for a solution. Im more in tune with a preventative maintenance Solution to a future would be problem. Yamaha has a serious issue with the malfuntioning properties of their nano hulls. To make the skis light an perform well, they made these fragile hulls. I dont want to lose my investment when i know i can strengthen the hull with the right product. I am comparing products to see what i want to use. I just know that the gator glide is on my list. I really the product is great from my opinion or your very well done video. Thank you. I hope to be a customer soon!

Always wash paint rollers in straight tap water and let air dry pre project, it will eliminate 99% of lint problems....And yes I learned the hard way.

You can also wrap painters tape all the way around the rolller and when you peel it off the lint comes with it

So what if the boat is fiberglass? The paint is not the greatest, but would I have to repaint before using the gator glide?
@SendItJonBoats
@SendItJonBoats 3 жыл бұрын
No need to repaint, just scuff it real good and apply right over the old paint so long as it is not peeling. If it is peeling you will need to sand it all off. But yes it can go over fiberglass.

@Adam Delano I don't think necessarily gets much more top speed but helps it get on plane much faster after that most of the boat is out of the water.

Minor leaks yes, if they are a lot of them or they are really leaking bad then you need to fix the rivet first then gator glide over it.

Question: I have a 12 foot Orlando Clipper V hull aluminum center console boat with a 15hp Johnson outboard motor, top speed is about 23 mph. My problem is I have a small leak on the bottom of the boat somewhere. I've tried to repair it with silicone and it worked to a degree but did not seal it completely. Because the boat goes pretty fast the water friction on the bottom of the boat is high. I'm looking for a liquid application like solvent or paint. What product do you recommend that would permanently fix the leak.
@SendItJonBoats
@SendItJonBoats 2 жыл бұрын
It is a boat, not a submarine... a little water in the boat is not going to hurt anything dude. My boat has like 19 leaking rivets and we fishi with 10 plus gallons of water in the boat and it floats just fine. Either replace the rivet, or just leave it alone. Quit trying to smear junk on it.

Why are most jon boats "roller" painted as opposed to sprayed? You would assume that because of the uneven surfaces on a jon, spray would almost always be the application method of choice.

It is not made to seal rivets, and I do not recommend any goop, slop, paint, roll on, stick icky, gluey junk to seal bad rivets. Drill the bad rivet out, put a new one in and do it right.
