Thanks Dave excellent point. In the cases of using the interlude 2000 to extend a barrier coat to the top of the bootstripe what would you recommend for paint to use to redo the bootstripe with? Keith R. Martin, P.Eng On Sun, Mar 11, 2018, 12:16 PM Dave Scobie <scoobscobie@gmail.com> wrote:
you do want to cover Interlux 2000 as it isn't UV stable (it is epoxy).

Hi Tom,
​Yeah the Interlux 2000 has a sort of mat finish, but it's reasonably smooth. I assume that give the boat has bottom paint on it right now the reason you would reapply bottom paint is to restore anti-fouling protection depending on your sailing environment yes??

Hi Keith, I am in the process of gathering materials to take care of the blisters exposed by the pressure wash. The Interprotect 2000 sounds good for the bottom but the gray color not so much above the boot top. Back to the bottom, once I coat it with the 2000 I assume I will have to recoat with bottom paint since the 200 gives a mat finish. No? I am using an Orange citrus remover for the remainder of the bottom paint. It is eco friendly and really seems to do the job well without damaging the remaining gelcoat. The Deepest place in the lake I am on is about 40 feet at the old riverbed before the dam flooded the terrain. Thanks for the reminder about the retrieval line on the anchor. Got away from using one when I was down in Rockport, pre-Hurricane Harvey since the bottom down there was sand or muck. Was a good day for sailing today, 60's, sunny and breezy. Fair winds, Tom
