I used Brightside on the topside of a 30' sailboat. I brushed it on except for the nonskid areas where I used a roller. The trick was to brush horizonally on the vertical surfaces and spread the paint out -- using little -- so as to avoid runs. Try to keep a wet edge by working fast. I did this because I found that I needed two coats. The stuff likes to run. So, don't try a single, heavy coat. The burshing out and feathering (or tipping) was used for both coats and I got to where it looked as if it had been sprayed. Runs were the only tell-tail. Runs are hard to recover from. DavidO

It's a matter of surface prep and care. As to the Brightside product, your best source for answers is the material safety data sheet (MSDS) published by the manufacturer. This page has links to the MSDSs for the different colors: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=64 I checked a couple which said to use a respirator designed for the hazardous materials in section 2 of the MSDS, which were napthalene, xylenes, amorphous silica, kerosene, Stoddard solvent, medium aliphatic naptha solvent (petroleum), and some other stuff. Compare the list on the respirator cartridge to the list on the MSDS to determine which cartridge to use. If you're using a 3M respirator, and they make one of the best, there's an 800 number listed on the MSDS to call 3M to get a recommendation for the right cartidge. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
