I'd go another coat or two. It can't hurt, might help. Easier to put
on a coat or two now than chip off barnacles later (Believe me!).

I just put my second coat of homemade copperpoxy on the micro's
bottom. Holy cow! If this stuff works a quarter as good as it looks
I'm sold.....errr, well i've already bought it.
I used 3/4 quart of raka resin and raka fast hardner per coat with
about 4 oz of copper powder in the first coat and 4.5 in the
second. Painted it on with a semi knappy 9" roller each coat took
maybe 4 or 5 minutes.......before the fast hardner could kick off in
the paint tray anyway.
Self leveled, no roller marks, seriously looks like a brand new
penny. Goldish brown from a distance and the closer you get the more
copper it becomes, get real close and it is downright prismatic.
Maybe it will turn green when it hits the water but for now it looks
good.
Very pleased with the results.
Thanks to all those who answered my questions about the copper
additive.
