Brightside: Forgot to mention, I changed our bootstripe in 2007 from red to flag blue. For six years it held up well and I had very few touchups. Then last year, I changed it to black and added two black vinyl tape stripes above it. I was redoing my PoliGlow, so removed most of that 1st. Then I simply sanded the flag blue boot stripe to provide tooth, 150, then 220, wiped with 202 I think, then painted a coat of brightside, lightly sanded with 320 and painted second coat.
Why use tape? No wait for drying. Needs very small weather window. No need for second coat.

I can easily touch up any scars in the bootstripe each spring and PoliGlow does an amazing job of making the touchups blend and it all looks brand new. I don't see the value in the two part paints as they need measuring and mixing and if you add a flattener, it's a two part flattener, making it a four part paint. I remember reading somewhere that Interlux recommends using their single part paints for high traffic areas or places that might get scraped, anywhere you expect to be touching up now and then. It's so easy to just open a can of brightside and pour a thimble full in a plastic cup and dab on a bit of paint and throw away the brush and cup.

Did you ignore that (as I would)? Other than mixing it, is there any difference in the application process?

Changed 3 years ago when I painted the boat and did the boots stripe in 2 part Interlux Perfection . I haven't had to redo the stripe since .I would strongly suggest switching to a 2 part paint ,in the end the added work to apply is more than offset by its durability DDrake 73 JH C&C 26 On Feb 3, 2014, at 11:00 AM, Joel Aronson < joel.aron...@gmail.com > wrote: <blockquote> Monty, Thanks!
