Edd Lt Kurt sounds like the logical person to research your barrier coat question. The one main piece of advice - make sure it is not an old batch and has no lumpy qualities. Sucks to make the bottom smooth and then put on a lumpy bottom coat! Contact Interlux support. They have a support tel no carefully hidden in their web page but once you find it they are really good at answering questions like the ones you have asked. I have contacted them several times over the years and always been pleased with the advice they have offered. www.yachtpaint.com Mike Nut Case J/27 50757 main trim on C&C 115 Koobalibra 59115

Kurt, who I've known since third grade, was the best man at my wedding, and has been racing on my team for years is my Science Officer. He can calculate, in his head, time-on-time racing handicaps during a race and the physics of air flow over the sail. In his "real life", he's a computer programmer and system analyzer for the trading platforms at Morgan Stanley. There's nobody more logical. All the best, Edd Edd M.

So, a few questions: 1. I've heard Interprotect is a good product. Anyone have any recommendations? How many gallons for a 37+'s hull? 2. How many coats should I put on? I like the idea of alternating gray and white. 3. What is a good way to get it all on? What is the best painting materials? Please note: I'm not looking for the ultimate super smooth bottom. I'd rather not spend days wetsanding this hull. 4. Any other tips or suggestions? The Enterprise launches in 17 weeks. All the best, Edd Edd M.
