Well, Been busting my hump still on the hull. I applied the interlux 2000E. You cant even see the repairs that I did, the 2000E is like a paint but with sand in it. Its tuff to work with. If you dont thin it out, its like mud. If you add to much thinner, she runs. I have a bunch of runs for myself here. Took a few hours to sand her down after letting it cure for a few days. Only hope I can get her smooth enough so the TOP SECRET PAint stuff I bought will look good like they promised it would. If not, I'll be going with a below he water-line paint "non-antifoul.
Also been working on the deck as well putting down Ultra Tuff. The stuff is good, but I am using a roller. If I had teh cash, I would use the hopper gun. I applied one coat the day before, but was unsure if I could apply a second coat over the first coat today, so I called the company and they said to simply reprimer over the first coat so it sticks good. Well its been 8 hours and the primer they sold me still hasnt cured yet. Hopefully Saturday it will be cured enough for a second coat. If not, guess I'll be grinding it all off or trying to scrub over the primer that wont cure.

No sand in the paint. The Interlux barrier paint has some sort of micro barrier things in the paint. Thats what it reminded me of when it when on thick and then remembered oops to add thinner. The barrier coat prevents and blistering. It hid all my body work to the hull as well. Looks really good.
