Edd,
I soda blasted last spring and used Interprotect 2000E. I used almost six gallons. Alternating gray and white makes it very easy to show where you've covered the hull for each coat. I had blisters. Lots of small ones, but some ended up larger than expected. Several were a couple inches across. Refilled with glass and epoxy, then faired smooth. I overcoated with VC Offshore before the last coat of Interprotect cured. I had great adhesion this year. No lost paint.

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.
