Default Bottom pain thinning

"Ryk" wrote

That, and your point about overcoating -- you
can put on a whole lot more paint if you aren't aggressive about
spreading it out.


That's probably where the thinning comes in. It was drying so fast on
the hull (good drying day even though cool) that I couldn't move it
around much after it was rolled on.

It doesn't look very thick but, if it was only 25% thicker than the
yard put on, it would account for the coverage difference. In other
words, you don't have to add 25% thinner to increase coverage by that
amount with a fast drying paint like this which is what I was thinking
when I first posted.

I'll try foam rollers next year as well.
