[C320-list] VC 17

[Jim Sweet]

I use about 3 qts thinned out quite a bit.  That being said, we are in the 
Great Lakes so it's fresh water.  Practical Sailors last issue had a rating 
on bottom paints that included VC17 Offshore and it seemed to be OK in salt 
water.  On a side note, Practical Sailor also had a letter from a guy that 
uses isopropyl alcohol to thin the stuff ($1.89/ qt) instead of VC172 
($29.90/qt).  They checked with Interlux and lo and behold, VC172 is 
isopropyl and n-propyl alcohol so it works with a bit longer drying time.

If there are any listers that use VC17, can someone tell me how many quarts 
they use?

I am thinking 6 but don't want to under order and pay another round of 
shipping.....

thanks so much.
