Bill , i will e mail you and i talked with Steve today . Bill if your bilge was repainted at Skater they would never use MEK in the Acetone and considering i was employed with them over 12 years and have been working on Skater,s over 18 years and have over 34 years experience doing glass work , i guess i do not know $hit..................... But then again i was always told that glass guys are flakes and each and everyone thinks they are the best .....ha ha ha ha

11-10-2008 04:09 PMMEK will just ever so slightly soften up whatever's under there. It won't be sticky, but it will help chemical adhesion. I can't tell you 100% that it absolutely improves things, but I've been doing it for 30+ years and I've yet to have adhesion problems. I learned it from an old-timer.

how old do you hafta be to be an old timer? I dont think i'm any where it yet at any rate lol
And yes the MEK is a good trick to give you a bit of a "leg up" on the adhesion, i dont think you could ever have to much of that.
