Eric,

5 gallons would probably not do it, or be too close for comfort. 5 gallons = 19 liters and I always buy the 20 liter pail. If you are buying in St. Martin, the small franchise Budget Marine store on the French side sometimes has deals on Micron in 20 liter pails. They owner's name is Guy. He is a Dessalator Dealer as well. I bought some high pressure hose from him for the 160l watermaker.

Pat,

Using a different paint I got 2 coats on the first painting with 5 gallons.

For some reason this year they needed 6 gallons including a third coat on the leading edge of the keel an the waterline.

Bill,

Ihad a heavy sanding done this spring and used 66  I did not see 77 in the store.

They used 6 gallons including painting over the orange stripe this year as kimberlite sits down by the keel

I hope next time i haul i will use only 5 gallons. I will keep a look out for 77.

what is the difference?

Eric,

 

Most of the places we have hauled sell Micron in 20 liter pails. It works perfectly for 2 good coats all over and a third coat from the waterline down about 12-18", the leading edge of keel and skeg, and all of the rudder. We usually have about a liter or so left over which we discard.

 

We generally haul every 2 years. We hauled this July which was 2 years and 3 months, but probably could have waited for 3 years as the Med is not the Tropics.

Bill,

How much 66/77 do you use to paint your boat?

How often do you haul and paint?
