: Anyone use this technique on a larger scale - like on an entire hull?

Chip,

I used it on a small sailboat (25 ft) hull. Two of us held the cloth (2 oz) and a third pushed it down with a roller. The drawback is that it can be hard to do large surfaces alone, and it seems harder to work out wrinkles.
