In my experience (2 boats) I have found that many well thinned coats works
better than sloping on a thick coat. Also, some times I have had to rethin the
pot 1/2 way thru painting. Having the surface being painted as flat as possibel
is also good to keep the runs down. Do not use Kleen Green as a Xylene
substitute it doesn't mix well and doesn't even clean brushes well. IMHO 3-5
coats on the deck and 5-7 coats on the bottom of well thinned material is good.
I also found that any point pressure such as straps or ropes will leave
inpresstions in the Hypalon up to 2 weeks after the final coat.
