My boatyard has advised me to apply 1 coat at the start and end of each day to make 6 coats in all over 3 dry days. They say that each coat of epoxy must be applied when the previous coat is still tacky.

With Gelshield will there be any problem if one coat dries out before a further coat is applied? I am also told by the boatyard to apply the initial antifoul when the epoxy is still 'tacky'.

The surveyor has checked the hull of my boat and confirmed that it is between 4 and 5 and well dry enough for epoxying.!
