As long as you decant the next few minutes' amount of paint and close the can otherwise, you'll get a proper thickness. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

I'm not sure that's generally true. With ablative paints the duration of protection depends on film thickness, as they disappear in time. With hard paints all the action is supposed to be at the surface, so there isn't much plus to extra coats unless you are going to wear them off. (Yes, I wore off VC17 from the bottom foot of the keel in shallow, sandy, weedy places last season, but that was physical antifouling, right? Yes, Lake Erie is Shallow) Ryk |
