Hi David- I had planned on using something other than Awlgrip as the inability to repair that stuff is annoying. There is a useful Practical Sailor 3 year test that I found useful. They recommend Interlux Perfection or Epifanes 2 parts. Dave https://www.practical-sailor.com/issues/37_24/features/Topside-Paint-Endurance-Test-3-Year-Checkup_10942-1.html
