Tuff coat came out good

Restoring a 1997 Tracker Tournament v17. Using Tuff Coat which is coming out great,

Nice job

Wow, that is impressive. Looks like it came from the factory.

Thanks.I waiting for the weather to get nice to put it all in the boat. Then it will get the third coat and call it good.

Details?

How did you do it step by step, how much tuff coat did you use, what would you have done differently?

looks awesome, and I want to do something similar!

I too am very interested in how you applied it.

Nice! Ima do the same for my boat

How would you compare this to the rolls of vinyl you glue down?

Looks great btw!

Awesome! :beer:

The important thing is to prep. I did all wood and aluminum seating and hatches. The key when applying it after the primer of course, is to cross hatch to make sure and the rubber material even. Also, make sure the first coat drys before trying a second or it will lift the first coat.

Great tip! :beer:

I choose Tuff Coat because I got tired of hooking the carpet every time I am in a carpeted boat. The vinyl route would have been my second choice, the Tuff Coat being first because to makes the wood totally water proof and you can always continue to add coats over it in the future without any prep other than cleaning it. The key to success with this is the prep work. Wood needs to be clean, I sanded with 180 to scruff it. The aluminum I acid washed to etch it and removed all carpet glue. Keeping the rubber suspended in the can stirring with a drill paddle every 30 min or so as you are using it. Loading the special roller up after three passes to make sure enough rubber content is in it. 3 total coats to provide a very long lasting flooring. I also undercoated all the wood with Coat it by skimming it on. I now have a totally encased wood floor that will not rot.
