Liquid rollers spray
Submitted by Vinesh87 on Sat, 2012-12-15 19:50
Sometimes its hard to get the boat off the bunks on the trailer if there isnt enough water. (The extended drawbar is coming)
I have read reviews of 'liquid rollers' spray. Has anyone used it, or a alternative to make getting the boat on and off the skids a little easier that is safe on the gel coat ?
Or anywhere i can buy it in Perth to give it a go ?
Cheers,
Vin

Some people used silicon spray, or caliber bunk wraps / slides, or Poly decking from bunnings.

Silicon Spray
As Jamie said, just get some silicon spray from Bunnings. Spray the bunks after each launch. Makes subsequent launches so smooooth.
Worked awesome on my old Seaswirl.
I did then the best that I knew how. When I knew better, I did better.

I bought a couple of candles, melted it into an old pan then painted it into the carpet. Certainly goes alot better but Im going to get rid of the bunks and fit rollers I reckon.

Seriously, try the cheap poly decking from bunnings screwed on top. We use it on Alfred's boat and its a breeze.

I reckon Linox would be the go , holds and stays slippery alot longer than silicon spray...

It has left the occasional mark on the boat, but it rubs off. That is why the commercial product is white.
