Awlgrip™ Teaches Proper Painting Techniques
Awlgrip™ visited Oakcliff last Wednesday to teach our Acorns how to safely and properly apply boat paint, as maintenance is also an important part of the Oakcliff experience.
An Awlgrip™ representative, Glenn, showed the Acorns how to properly use Awlgrip 545 and Awlgrip Awlcraft with a sprayer. Our Acorns were very excited to learn how to spray paint properly and proud of the work that they accomplished. Thank you to Awlgrip for coming down to help our Acorns!

We look forward to sailing with you soon!
Sincerely,
Samantha Pilz
