Dave,

I got a quart of Supermarine to try when I was trying to decide what to put on bottom of my boat, since most urethanes don't hold up under water. I had trouble getting it smooth with either foam brush or roller, or roll & tip. Had lots of trouble with bubbles, using either their thinner or mineral spirits. Maybe it was my technique, but I didn't have that problem with Signature. Didn't try spraying it so don't know it works with spraying. Carla also tried some of it in the bilge of their 21, but she had some trouble with adhesion. I believe she later found she could remove the dried paint with mineral spirits, or else it came off where rain water had collected in bilge, don't remember which. Put some samples in salt water canal for about 6 weeks and it held up ok, but with lots of marine growth in our barnacle capital of the world.

Did the same with Signature Finish, and that stuff was so slick that very little growth stuck to it, and what there was cleaned off easily. It levels real nice when applied with a foam brush. It also held up fine for 6 weeks underwater, so I ended up going with Signature and have been very pleased with it. Also like the fact that it's easily repairable, as minor nicks and scrapes on the bottom seem to be unavoidable if you use the boat much. Denny
