 Gator glide application question
Getting ready to install g2 on my boat and you guys that have done this where you mask off your lines do you pull the tape off after each coat? just wondering if i'll have an issue removing tape after 4,5, or 6 coats. Thanks

 Re: Gator glide application question
Leave the tape on until you've applied all coats and it has dried. I applied six coats of G2, letting each coat dry for ~30 minutes. I left the tape on until the next day. It peels right off.

 Re: Gator glide application question
I used 220 on a da sander then wipe it down with acetone. I put mine on the same day and took the tape off after the last coat.
