Coat Five: It's a Wrap!

Yea, I know, the fifth coat was supposed to be white. Here's the story--it took 1-1/2 gallons to finish up today; one gallon of white and half a gallon of grey. Who said Interlux 2000E only comes in white and grey? It comes in light grey too ;-)

So here's what we learned after applying five coats of Interlux 2000E:

Walmart's 1/4" nap rollers work great
Mix only enough 2000E to do 1/2 the hull (about 1 gallon)
Lightly Sand the hull between coats
Alternate the color of each coat
Used new pans ($1 each at Dollar Tree), roller covers ($6 for 2 at Walmart) and brushes ($1 each at Dollar Tree) with each new load of 2000E
Put new tape along the waterline after each coat
Sand the the ridge smooth at the waterline after each coat.
