Awl Grip for Typhoon

Post by Jack Bell »

I am considering painting the hull of my Typhoon with navy blue Awl Grip. Any good or bad experiences and/suggestions would be welcomed.

a seafarer owner at my marina sprayed his own hull navy blue. looked good. bought a cheap ($30) spray gun. wore a respirator in a plastic homemade shelter, did it in march and threw the gun away when he was done.

From the US Paint Co. guide:

Ventilation/Respiratory Protection: Use only with adequate ventilation. Maintain continuous flow of fresh air. Do not breathe vapors, spray mists, or sanding dusts. Wear appropriate, properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during and after application unless air monitoring demonstrates vapor and particulate levels are below applicable limits. Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions for respirator use. Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure. Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain exposure below TLV’s (Threshold Limit Values).

Personal Protective Equipment: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use solvent resistant safety eyewear with splash guards. Solvent impermeable gloves, clothing, and boots should be worn to prevent skin contact. When applying an AWLGRIP® or AWLCRAFT® 2000 Topcoat or any other isocyanate containing product, a respirator that is approved for use with such products must be used. A positive pressure air supplied respirator (TC19C NIOSH/MSHA approved) is recommended.
