How to Paint your Boat

Publisher: Adlard Coles, £10.99
Publication Date: 2006

Painting is a very complex subject when one considers the numerous base materials in the variety of possible conditions to which one may wish to apply a decorative and protective surface skin, particularly today with the many different materials and methods available.
The full range to be found in the marine environment are covered here in some depth with much detail on materials, preparation and application plus good advice and appropriate warnings to avoid failure of the treatment and to protect the painter.Sentences like “The polyol base component is a type of polyester which provides reactive hydroxyl sites with which the isocyanate curing agent can react” might daunt the average boater but the whole subject is covered and would be a suitable bible for the professional or anyone who really wants to get to that finish normally only seen at boat shows; or who has a problem to solve. - JDC
