: Do you paint it on one side or on both sides? Thank you.

I just did the outside, and I'm not real happy with my choice. Oh well, it was a test, right. The hull has been outside for over a year and has some stains on it, probably mildew. I don't know if painting the inside would have prevented this, but next time I'll do both sides.

The ability to keep out water does not seem to be impaired by the staining, so for a quick job, just painting the snowcoat on the outside would seem sufficient.
