I was just wondering why you are using Awlgrip when there are so many brands of urethane's out there that are chaeper and easy to apply. All the custom shops paint boats with'em and don't have any problems and if you need touch up its easy to get in small amounts.

should be about 4 gallons. If I remember correctly. Also, make sure you use a couple coats of primer.

1 quart
Glide it on with a popsicle stick. Bristles in the brush waste all the paint on the way from the can.
