    Pot life for 2-part epoxy?

    I just discovered that I have some Interlux VC bottomkote left over from earlier today. My question is: can I use it as long as it doesn't harden up? I've covered the remaining paint up, but won't be able to paint until tommorrow. Just wondering. Thanks.

    Should I foam-in my plastic gas tank?

    I'm replacing my old 24 gallon,corroded metal tank with an 18 gallon polyethelene tank. I am going to use 4# foam to fill in the mid-deck. The original tank was completely foamed over. Should I foam over the plastic tank, or should I leave a void and possibly a water drain to the bilge? The boat...

    Applying new non-skid

    I am almost finished prepping my 1972-17 Mako for painting and am wondering what the procedure is for applying new non-skid over original factory non-skid? Should I completely sand down the original finish, or just rough it? I will be using Interlux Brightside (with flattening agent, and...
