I applied coat-it this npast weekend. 1st I used a weed burner (big propane torch) to heat and remove gluvit. Worked great. took me about an hour to do a 16' dft. boat. 2nd I followed the directions to a tee. I got some phosphoric acid from a marine repair shop and use "scotch brite" pads a 3M PRODUCT and throughly scrubbed down the bottom. Then with a palm sander & 60 grit sand paper gave it a good going over. Then I srubed down the again with more acid wash and let dry completely. Then I applied a coat of product and let set up until tackiness was almost all gone. Then I mixed up the remainder and applied it. The product info says you can apply a 20 mil. thick coat. Having two 80 degree days helped the curing process. Only problem I had was keeping bugs out of it until it set up. Also a side note, I also cleaned up the chines along the bottom of my Alumaweld and ran the coat-it on the chines and ended it next to hull. I masked the hull off to get a nice clean finish. Can't wait to get out and give it a try. Tight Lines & Smilin' Faces
