When rolling, only use a high-quality short nap (3\/16\" maximum) roller cover. Mix paint thoroughly prior to application to ensure ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the can. All surfaces must be clean, dry, and properly prepared prior to painting. Do not apply Black Widow directly on aluminum hulls or outdrives without properly priming first. When spraying, do not thin Black Widow more that 5% or inadequate film thickness will occur.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBurnishing of Black Widow to create a slicker finish can be done with 400 - 1200 grit wet or dry sandpaper after the coating has dried for at least 48 hours to achieve a smooth but matte finish.
