Because Hydrocoat replaces those solvents with water, it applies and cleans up easily with just soap and water, leaving no heavy solvent smell during application. This gallon is finished in Black with a gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ablative surface wears away gradually with use, continuously exposing fresh biocide while eliminating the paint build-up that leads to sanding between seasons. Hydrocoat has unlimited dry time to launch, so it can be applied in the fall and left until the boat goes back in the water. It is built to withstand frequent trailering, beaching, and launching, making it a strong fit for boats that move in and out of the water regularly rather than sitting continuously on a mooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gallon covers 700 to 1200 square feet per gallon depending on application method and surface, reaches full cure in 6 hours, and is recommended for fiberglass hulls used outdoors.
