[QUOTE="Mojo, post: 130648, member: 2642"] First coat of Bottom Paint is on the boat. It takes six hours of dry time before i can put on the second. So i'll head back to the garage this afternoon and give her a second coat. Then the plan is to let it cure over night go back tommorow and sand then put on the final coat. It was exciting after all of that prep work to finally start putting paint down. My anal retentive side is annoyed by the places i missed while smoothing out the hull, small pin holes in the resin and such that were hard to see when it was bare fiberglass. But I decided I can live with a few imperfections... its the bottom of the boat after all. That paint I got goes on so thin! I bought a gallon of it just cause I wasn't sure how much I would use... Pffffft.... one coat of the bottom of that boat took up a whole whopping 1/16th of that can. I'm gona have a LOT of leftover paint. [/QUOTE]
