We have had the bottom blasted and need some plating (as expected). Do we have to use Interlux faring stuff or can we use some by say Color Flo etc? The Interlux stuff is very, very expensive.

Should faring be put on before or after primer or epoxy? Does this depend on what Interlux says?

What thickness of steel should we order?

The Interlux people said after we have the bottom blasted, we do not need to acid wash. They said to vaccum the steel and put the primer right on. Then start the epoxy at the proper time intervals etc. Does this sound correct? Anybody have experience with this?

Anybody know where in the Michigan/Ontario area we can have a new bottom put in her next fall/winter? Idea on cost maybe?
