I have just used 3m scotch brite pads to scuff up and then apply a fresh coat of Interlux Schooner varnish for my first annual maintaince, but how many coats do I apply?

Also, I have seen a new product that I would like consider using on the bottom of my boat...3m Paint Defender...anyone used it on a boat?

Thanks,

Chris,

Don't know about the Defender product but as far as how many coats of varnish are needed, if one looks good you're done. Nothing says you can't do more but they're not necessary.
