Lifting a Mac 26M

You don't have your location posted in your profile, so do be aware that VC-17 is for fresh water AFAIK.

Just wondering.. to recoat the bottom of my 26M, how much VC17 would /should I use?
2 cans? 3 cans?


Thanks

I'd bet one would do it, but I can't guarantee that. I think it took three to do the Hunter, but that had the big wing keel and barn door rudder.

I think I used Xylene to cut it, but from a quick web perusal it looks like alcohol is the primary ingredient. Sure doesn't, or didn't, smell anything like alcohol though. I think I still have an unopened can around here somewhere in fact.

I will buy 3 cans then.. better more and not enough.

Thanks a bunch !

It'll keep essentially forever, especially if you don't open it and add the copper powder. So no harm in buying 'too much', as you can use it again next year. I believe it'll keep even with the copper powder added as long as you seal it back up tight, but just don't remember any more.

2 cans

Every spring

No sanding, just wash and apply

All done.. and yes.. it took 2 cans exactly!
Lifted it up as mentioned,.. did not take much to get a foam roller under her.. an afternoon job.
