Hi Dave,

On this last coat, I did not use a solvent wipe on the hatch lids, but they are just as bad as the rest of the boat, so it seems that solvent wipe may not have been the problem this time around. Later this summer when I sand back and re-coat, I will likely try sanding with clean water only, followed by clean water rinse, and then wipedown with the recommended Interlux solvent. I have an information request in to Interlux to see what they recommend.

In the meantime, it is time to fit it up and go paddling for a while.

Best regards,

Allan Edie
