Pete, I think this post will make it. A little lightning blinked the screen. What kind of brush or roller have you found better than others? I thought about blowing this on but the high dollar signs convinced me otherwise. I figured I could buy the air compressor and the gun for what it would cost to have done professionally. Then again, the learning curve of life convinced me to go with the roller and brush. This stuff really went on well for the first coat. I have used some 400 grit wet sand just to check out the chance of removing the fuzz. I know that it is possible now....So you think that waiting 7 days is the trick. Why wait until the first coat has hardened before coating with the second? This stuff really builds fast. Two coats would have covered the boat...without fuzz.

So how hard and durable? I really hunted the most durable paint so that this triple can get lots of use from all comers and I won't worry about the scratches. All thoughts appreciated. So I will wait awhile, sand and recoat...with foam roller and hope for a good result. Thanks much.Brian
