Gather Tools and Materials

so onto the tools that I use for applying the aqua coat I like us an assortment of squeegees and I've got a set right here these I purchased from a local hardware store they're nice flexible I do like plastic or rubber squeegees versus metal because metal is more likely to scratch our gouge or surface I got them with handles got them with handles and then I also have some odd shaped ones and these are kind of to use to remove decals or window tinting on windows I got them from a local window tinner very simple in the past I used to use an old credit card to apply it with works very well because they're flexible they're small and they Bend really easily I like to have a size that I can scoop out my aqua coat with a squeegee that will reach in and scoop it out so I like one that fits inside like a quart container if I'm using a cord this one will fit right in there you'll do you'll want to do some sanding you're gonna need some glasses right here safety glasses I use a rag like a microfiber towel to apply it and hard to get areas I've got a sander right here I really like using their surf prep sander because it has these type of sponges that attach hook-and-loop right to the sander and it contours to routed edges or recessed panel doors very easily it makes the sanding really fast and efficient you're gonna use 320 sandpaper to sand in between coats of aqua coat because you're typically gonna apply at least two coats sometimes three one coat typically is not enough I start off with either a 180 or a 150 grit to sand my doors to begin with to start with so I'll sand them first clean them off really well and then apply the second coat I do when I start applying the aqua coat I do like to wear rubber gloves so I got Raven gloves here just something that's throwaway disposable easy to use and it's not gonna cost a lot they're the tools that I use and now we're gonna move on to applying the product we're going to show you how we go about doing that the first step in
