Any thoughts on how to apply

I expect prep is the key, I rubbed the props down with sandpaper, cleaned with acetone and then applied the epoxy. (2 coats)

I probably did at least 3 coats of the antifoul, since it had to be used up or thrown away.

The boat gets used only at the weekend, probably only 100 hrs for the year.

I will lift in April and update this thread as to what the outdrives look like, since this is the first year of using Seajet on the outdrives. This is the 3rd year of using Seajet on the props.

Any thoughts on how to prep a prop with movable blades? Seems like you could never get it to stick at the transition between the hub and the base of the blade.
