Hello Edd, May of 2011, here along the Texas Gulf Coast.... I too had Finesse , a LF39, soda blasted and on the recommendation of the boat yard:
1. Used the Interlux primer-cleaner 2. Applied 2 full coats of the 2000E and a 3rd coat over the keel and up the hull about 1/2 way using a roller. I slightly thined the 2000E again on the recommendaion of the yard and because the heat was affecting the workability. Just make sure you get the correct mil thickness. Alternating the gray and white is a good idea....wish I had 3. Then applied 3 coats of Pettit Pro....so far...no problems... Hope that helps, Lloyd Lippe Rockport, Texas ----- Original Message ----- From: Edd Schillay To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent: Friday, January 11, 2013 9:47 AM Subject: Stus-List Barrier Coating after Soda Blasting Listers, I'm getting the hull of the Enterprise soda blasted this year and the plan is to do the barrier coating myself afterwards. So, a few questions: 1. I've heard Interprotect is a good product. Anyone have any recommendations? How many gallons for a 37+'s hull? 2. How many coats should I put on? I like the idea of alternating gray and white. 3. What is a good way to get it all on? What is the best painting materials? Please note: I'm not looking for the ultimate super smooth bottom. I'd rather not spend days wetsanding this hull. 4. Any other tips or suggestions? The Enterprise launches in 17 weeks. All the best, Edd Edd M.
