Can you apply this with a roller? I want to sand and coat a 12 day sailer. Would anyone know how I may need? thanks.

I tried sanding it an it was extremely hard to do. I had to stop using it because it was burning up all of my sandpaper

no, product is a thick gel made for repairs. You probably need to see a pro for a spray on gel coat or paint the bottom down in fiberglass resin and paint it

You have to be careful it doesn't run, thinning it down might cause it to run. Its better to put it on with a small roller, because the texture will flow out and it will be smooth, and you can put it on fast enough so that it doesn't get tacky, and it will be less likely to run.

As long as the surface of the boat is free of pits and scratches you can apply the film and not worry. Any blemishes or roughness will make applying the film very difficult and will probably not last long.

Ok I did some research ... It can be used on any vinyl surface....marine applications are ok ,including fiberglass gel coat! Soooo I would yes you can,but not in the blazing sun! Good luck,Vicki D.

Yes, you use a paint roller for the application of the product. My son said that it was very easy to apply.

Probably, though I applied in spray form. It's not very viscous...very watery, so I'd say brush over roller. Good luck!

I assume you mean roller - No. You must use a roller that has holes in it to allow the paint to flow from the interior of the roller support to the fibers or foam in the roller. you can see these holes in the wagner rollers. FYI you can clean the rollers and use with different paint colors. I personally have owned 2 of these and absolutely love them... I've painted 3 houses with them. If you start with the lighter colors first like the ceilings and then move on you can reduce the number of roller purchases, but they are cheap compared to the cost of the paint. enjoy

I've used on my personal boards, our 24 rental sups, and installed on many customers boards and have only had minimal residue around the edges which I feel was actually due to wax, dirt, and debris that settled along the edges of tape. Used mineral spirits with minimum effort to remove. As far as installing w/o significant bubbles and in a line that follows the curve of the board, yes you can do alone but it takes time and a game plan Cut the tape to desired lengths, decide what area must be protected (easy to view if board has been used), mark starting line at nose, decide what to follow (pen line on board or outer most edge of rail, either may work depending on width of rail and tape, separate tape from backing about an inch.... Rip backing at starting edge and place back on tape w slick (nonstick) side on tape then line start edge w starting mark, keep pulled snug and I rub w thumb side to side to force bubbles out all while watching your pen line or rail edge. If need to you can pull tape back up a few inches or from the start line w your torn backing tab... Also if u get a stubborn air bubble you can pop w razor corner. I find it best to install tape when tape is warm 70+ (more flexible to follow curves, cold tape does not bend or stretch as easily). When installing I like to turn board on side (on carpet or pad) and straddle to hold board in place and stand over to help to line up w rail. When done simply pull backing tab off and rub any bubbles out. Takes a few to get it dialed in. I always say, the 2nd rail is perfect... Good luck

Yes! This product is awesome. I used it to seal acrylic hatches on a sailboat. The trick I used was to tape with painters tape wherever you don't want the sealant to stick. Uses a generous amount so that it will push out around the seams and then let it sit. It takes a long time to totally cure, up to a week. Then take a razor blade and cut of the excess.

I used rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. Poured the rubbing alcohol over the roller the ran it on the paper towel to make sure all parts were covered. If you google it there are a lot of diffret ways people suggest. I also only use it right after a shower,

John - This product would be perfect - have purchased 4 cans of this UVX-1 products - works fantastic - used on my 26 ft Rinker Captiva boat ( canvas 8 years old ) - deck umbrella ( 10 years old ) - grill cover and deck furniture covers - all canvas - beads up perfect - totally pleased - suggestion - directions say paint on product - DO NOT - tried first by brush - turned white and caked up - then got smart and purchased a good pump sprayer from Home Depot ( $ 5.00 ) and sprayed on - perfect and beads up better than brushing on. Get calm day and spray on. You will be dry and pleased with look of finished product. Good luck. Phil

Gelish recommends you use the basecoat, remove the basecoat's tacky layer with an alcohol wipe, then apply the structure gel. Works for me.

You can use it anywhere you would use a traditional roller. I normally would use a roller on outside walls because where I live we have siding that wouldn't be covered evenly using a roller.

One initial coat was enough for me. However, it seems to smooth out a bit after about nine months, so I apply a light coat over the existing coat about that often. I am happy with it. I still have not used the first of the two bottles. Rinse the roller and keep it.

I used a weed killer sprayer and paint brush, so no experience with a roller. I'm speculating that a roller would work, the waterproofing penetrates easily. Good luck!

I would use a roller with a pad that holds a lot of water/liquid. If you need to use a brush use the same advise also you can spray it on and I would let it sit for 24 hours so its well dissolved and mixed and you would need to strain it very well. Life time does not get thick it is thin as water

It has felt on the rollers. But heat is heat. I like to use a style prep product from Aveda.(called style prep) I haven't had any problems with this. ( more with the flat iron )
