Glen-L.com

Let's say I want to use epoxy / graphite for the bottom of the hull (trailered glen l 14) and I want to paint the rest.

I'm guessing that the paint won't stick to the epoxy/graphite?

I'm also guessing that I need the epoxy graphite to overlap the paint a little?

So I paint the hull, down into where the epoxy/graphite will go, and then tape it off when it's done, scuff the paint up to the tape and then apply the epoxy/graphite?

Or should I just paint the whole thing and be done with it?

You will need a two part primer to paint over the epoxy.

Do you have a "convenient spot" to hide the point where they meet?

On my boat the bottom paint and topside paint will "meet" at the chine.

I plan to leave each paint edge sharp (no overlap at all) and then cover it with a spray rail.

Alternately I could use a (stick on) stripe etc - anything to hide the transition (maybe meet at the waterline and use a "stick on")...

Yes, Plywood is "real" wood

A "professional" is someone who gets paid for their work - it doesn't necessarily mean they are good at it

I have a two part primer, I was concerned in particular about the graphite....
