Tyler, Nice work. It always pays to do projects right (and once). I went through the same ordeal last year with Second Wind. I made a dumb mistake, however, and used high density filler when fairing old blisters and the sanding took me nearly three times as long as it should have! Be sure to talk to other owners on the Great Lakes to see what bottom coat is best. I put my boat in the water at Port Clinton, but sailed her to FL (our new home), so I used a bottom coat that seemed best for the brackish water on the Indian River. I look forward to seeing the final project. -Tom Koehl
