[Alberg30] hairlines in cockpit

[Charles B. Currier]

I want to dissent a little bit as I have seen an done quite a few "roll &
tip" jobs that have come out very nicely.

One fellow I have seen down at casa rio marina did such a beautiful
awlgrip roll & tip job I swore it was sprayed in a tent.

The point is ... you can do a good job with some practice and some
patience and good weather.

The key is to test by using easy to remove paint for some experience. Ur
do a job this year with urethane and then in 2 years do it with awlgrip.

I personally do not see the need for awlgrip as I seem to need to do the
topsides as often as I do the bottom. As for the cabin & cockpit ... do
what you need with flat paint whatever the type.

Good luck,
