- 1970 Egg Harbor 37 extended salon model
I bought some Gun Kote to coat piston skirts, then I sealed up some cast iron pieces and now this Sendure bolt on bronze and copper end hose connector cap for the heat exchanger.
It has a hard surface and it is oil-gasoline-acip proof. You spray it on using an air brush or you can paint with an artist brush. Clean up with acetone.
Bakes in the oven at 325*F for 90 minutes. And I baked on 2 coats for this piece. The inside of the copper elbows I touched up with the small brush.
This part of course did not need anything being bronze, but it looks good now. Iron parts do need protection, and they also look good now.
I did not grit blast with 125 grit AlOx this part I did grit blast the piston skirts.
I did clean it first in Muriatic acid. The cast iron parts I coated are already rough surface.
The copper ells on this part were more corroded than the bronze base. I decided to coat this and see how it looks in a year.
Gun Kote is a phenolic resin and good up to 730* temps. This one I used is Nano Gun Kote.
Grit blasting the parts is recommended to key the surface before coating.
This part is from 1970.
