Dave:
In the Spring of 2006, we had the bottom 'dry ice blasted' to prepare it
for the Interprotect 2000E. If you use this product, read and follow
the instructions.
First step after the blasting was to wash the bottom with a solvent
(don't remember it but I thing it was Interlux 215). The Interprotect
2000E is a two part paint and must be mixed and left for about 20
minutes before applying. One challenge is to know how much paint to
mix. When we mixed our first batch and applied it with 6" high density
foam rollers, there was some left over. Rather than discarding it, we
would apply it to where we first started.
We applied 5 complete coats which actually turned out to be 7 coats as
the extra two coats resulted from the excess when we mixed each batch.
We put a piece of masking tape on the hull to show where we started each
new coat. After the first batch, we could have mixed a little less but
we didn't want to change our mixing formula.
My brother and I rolled on the five (5) coats in one day. It was a
perfect drying day......temp around 17C with a little breeze. First coat
went on at 9:00 a.m. then a coat every two (2) hours......fifth (5) coat
went on a little after 5 p.m. We alternated coats between 'white' and
'grey'......this really helps when applying it.
It has been nine (9) sailing seasons and the bottom still looks great.

I'm having my boats bottom soda blasted and then I'm going to be
applying a barrier coating. The yard recommended 7 coats of Interlux
Interprotect 2000E barrier coat which frankly seems a bit much.
According to them, Interlux (who recommends 4-5 coats 10 mil minimum)
won't honor their warrantee if you use less. Never short for opinions
I'm hoping you folks can provide me some recommendations for barrier
coatings.
