[QUOTE="Jonboat2Bassboat, post: 279920, member: 9662"] Here is the first coat of bottom paint. Tried to use the roll and roll method but it didn't work for me. The more I rolled the more air bubbles I got. Seemed to me the "sound" was sticky from the get go. Oh well, used the roll and tip method with foam roller and foam brush. Photos are of the first coat. As you can see from the close up it didn't cover to well. Thinned with 10% water but may go back to full strength. Anyone recommend more than 2 coats of bottom paint? Who knows about ablative bottom paint? Did not think this was ablative paint as it not say so on the can. Then I read on the mfg web site it is. One thing I had read about ablative paint is it "wears out" and has to be applied, maybe yearly. Didn't want to use an ablative bottom paint for that reason but it's what's on there now. [/QUOTE]
