Combining bottom paint

[jimbunyard]

About to put on 2 coats of bottom paint.

I've gotten 1 gallon of Marpro 67% and 1 gallon of Marpro 45%, both with biocide.

My original idea was put the 45% on first, then the 67%. The old man who owns the boat yard said he'd do it the other way around.

Another option is to mix the two for an, I guess, 56% paint.

Anyone have an opinion?


Thanks

I'd mix them together. Why sweat the small stuff?

Call Marpro and find out of they are the same base formula and compatible. Otherwise you might have issues later. Either poor adhesion, drying, longevity, or anti-fouling performance. Or it might work out just fine if you roll the dice.

I figure my time and effort is more valuable than the paint, even as costly as it is.

Definitely. Advertising makes us guess at a question like this.
