| Subject: | Re: Latex Paint Rolling Video |
Oscar and Malcolm, Mine is done in semi gloss Latex. I sprayed most and
rolled some. For me spraying on was faster and more consistent than
rolling. I used a Harbor Freight HVLP gun. After discussions with John K I
went with semi gloss as it does not emphasize flaws and is much more
forgiving. Flat would probably cover up flaws.
I like the ease of application and the fact that I can do it in shorts and
a set of safety glasses and a paper mask. My two year old grandson can
stumble into the paint and it is just a soap and water cleanup. Also in
moving it, there have been some scabs on the new paint. I am not stressed.
A little Xylene on a cotton rag will feather the edges and I can spray or
roll to patch it.
Malcolm, your videos gave me great confidence. Thank you for sharing.
I am not worried about stripping the plane someday and doing a different
paint job.
Now I am headed to the airport to get some work done.
Blue Skies,
Steve D

Okay, so I located the moving box where I kept the test swatches that resulted
from my "latex vs. Poly-Fiber" test five years ago. I wrote up that test here:
http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/paint/paint.html
I had intended to set the four samples outdoors for a year and then punch-test
the fabric to see what happens, but that never got done when we lived in San Antonio
so I'll set up a test frame and get the samples outdoors here in Oregon
for 2015. My office is in a 2-story building with a flat roof and a nice ladder
access through a roof hatch, so it should be easy to get the test frame set
up in good position to face south for the next 12 months and four seasons.
Stay tuned... ;o)
