| The deck area should be approximate to the window area and has been allowed for in the above calculations. So when looking at the above chart just use the overall length of your boat. | |||||||
| For example: a 45ft Narrowboat would need 4.6L of undercoat (1 coat) and 9.2L of topcoat (2 coats) | |||||||
