Aimed at painting a boat.

It's hempel paint on a boat...

page 13

€¢ Small diameter felt and closed cell foam rollers are recommended for a
better quality finish.

This time Harris varnish sleeve. Much better!

Â*€¢ In all cases use the crisscross technique to distribute the paint
evenly.

€¢ After applying by roller, laying off the paint with a brush or pad
will give an improved finish.

I tried a brush on the next coat. It wasn't making it much better.

It'll need another; I'll try a pad. cvrda.org recommend a foam brush,
but I couldn't find one.

Fish Eyes €“ small holes in the paint film

€¢ Appears during painting due to silicone or oil contamination on the
surface.[1]

Abrade back until contaminated area can be degreased, allow to dry and
recoat.

None

AND

Orange Peel €“ surface mottled like orange skin

€¢ Primarily occurs when spraying due to poor flow caused by poor
atomisation, insufficient thinning, paint applied too thickly or
over-coated too soon. Can also occur with some roller applications.

Abrade back to an even flat surface and re-coat.If using a roller, it
may be necessary to lay off using a brush or pad after roller application.
