Id get everything up to about 75* and use the tropical for the working time. You can throw some glass in the mix too if youve got big gaps. 2/3 of a gallon is about all ill mix at a time by myself, make sure youve got a big pot and use the paddle like you said. 2.5 or 3gal buckets work well.

Probably will end up being at least 1.5gal of material depending how tight the liner fits to the stringers, also you dont need to cover the whole width of the stringer, a few inches is fine.

Get it bedded then keep the heat up for a day
