I repainted my boot stripe this spring with the roll and tip method, and Interlux Brightside, and was happy with the result. Sanded off old flaky paint thoroughly with successively finer grits, and applied two coats of paint. But the bottom edge of the boot stripe that was in the water all the time still blistered with lots of little micro-blisters, within just one season. The parts above the waterline still look good.

So I was re-painting my tired and mooring abused waterline stripes. Killed myself sanding and prepping. Watched videos on rolling and tipping. Bought a high-end brush and armed with a quality foam roller went to work applying the Brightside. Leaving out the self imposed debacle of coat one and the resulting need for re-sanding I start The 1st coat 2.0. Start rolling and tipping again and immediately did not like the results. By accident I just rolled the paint out more than once and found it laid beautifully as I gently re-rolled paint until all the bubbles were gone. Bingo. The results were what I was looking for. Just thought I would share that bit of experience to those who may think their rolling and tipping skills may be wanting. You may not need them after all... David F.
