And ,, is the West Marine product a good quality product?


You sound like a good candidate to strip down to the gelcoat, repair any
anopmolies and add a barrier coat. Apply the first coat of bottom paint before
the last coat of barrier coat completely sets up and they will bond especially
well.

I use Interlux products only, so I can't tell you anything about West's
knock-off products. Interlux offers a lot more information about their products
as well as superior support. That's easily worth the extra cost. I know what I'm
buying, who made it, and I have no compatibilty worries.

West bottom paint is made by Pettit and Interlux. The CPP I'm trying
this year was rated better than Micron in northern waters and was made
by Pettit.

Although I like Micron Extra, at $225/gal, its gotten too pricey.
