Foam brushes and only turpentine for thinner. I find myself slightly thinning every coat. you need it to flow and level quickly.
I only do the deck or hull at a time. Lots of light to see well, in my garage out of sun. and temps 50 plus.
Most people are surprised by the way I treat...abuse...my boats. But I don't care. If something catastrophic happens another boat is only 100-130 hours away...)
