on engines are compounded for
high resistance to the action
of gasoline and oil.
Even with proper selection,
the first coat of finish applied
to any boat largely determines
the life of the job. If the first
coat cracks and peels off, so
will the finish coats. Painting
should be done only on dry sur
faces during dry weather and
only on surfaces that are clean
and free from oil and grease.
Naturally, you will want to use
putty or wood fill in all mai
and screw holes and apply seam
cement or glazing compound to
gouges. Prior to this, a printing
coat must be applied, otherwise
the oil in the fill will be wholly
absorbed, leading to crumbline
of the filling compound.
Painting should only be done
when temperatures are between
IS and 80 degrees. The colder
the day, the slower will be the
drying time. Overely hot tenn.
peratures can cause blisterinl
or wrinkling.
Fiberglas may be painted
but a fiberglas neutral primer
must be applied. Sand within
four to six hours after appli.
cation. Two prime coats arr
usually recommended following
which any good marine ename
may be used.

trailer, car and boat, but within
two weeks his pleasure turned
to dismay. The automotive fin
ish on the boat began to crack
badly and small sections here
and there Clipped away.
What had happened answers
a question that at this time of
the year seems to be uppermost
in the minds of many boatmen.
Can I paint my boat with ordi-
nary exterior enamels, or use
automotive enamel or lacquer?
The answer is no, not if you
want to be sure that the finish
will offer lasting hull protec-
ton and look we'll for more
than a brief period.
Marine finishes have been
developed expressly for boats.
The requirements for marine
use are different from those for
house exteriors. garden furni-
ture or automobiles.
Boat finishes not only must
withstand the ravages of rain,
sunlight and extremes of cold
and heat, they must also be
able to endure long periods of
immersion in fresh or salt
water of varying temperature
that may include chemical con-
teammates.
Marine finishes must have
extreme film hardness to assure
resistance to marring caused by
banging against docks, the
abrasive action of Bleaching and
the friction of ropes and fend-
ers. This lasting hardness must
retain enough elasticity so that
flexing of the hull when the
boat is in motion win not cause
the finish to crack. Further,
good quality marine paint must
be high in hiding power so that
the fewest possible number of
coats will cover blemishes. Re-
member paint adds weight and
weight cuts down performance
Most marine paint manufac.
turers carry on constant test
programs with the view to i'm
proving their products. Yacht
whites, for example, in recent
years have been improved In
their chemistry so that they
resist following and other dis
coloration caused by hydrogen

form rises from most harbol
