: Wow! That long? I looked on the can and didn't see anything. Maybe
: it will get better, it's been 30 days. Even if it gets harder
: that is a long dry time.

: As Bill said it doesn't go nearly as far. I used a full quart on
: the bottom of the bottom alone. I had to buy a second quart to
: do some touchup. I did the Firefly top and bottom with just just
: bit more than a quart. I got 3 coats on the bottom and 2 coats
: on the deck with quart of oil based. I barely got 3 coats on the
: hull with latex.

I think I've got like 8 coats on the bottom, seemed like I was going to paint that thing for the rest of my life .

It's also weird color, mine's dark brown and it goes on purple.
