Hi Ian;

Film thickness is probably about as thick as it can go without sagging or running. One area of the hull has some precursors of a sag, but it can only be seen, not easily felt. I loaded up the rag pretty good, and would reload if it seemed I had to press to hard to spread it. The technique is so simple to master, it takes longer to talk about it than learn it. I sand the 1st 2 coats tonite, I'll let you know what I find.

Best Regards, Spidey
