I use Interlux also.  Since I do the antifouling job
myself, I have found that using a 6 inch brush and
painting it on in the direction of "front to back"
make a very smooth finish.  Never paint "side to
side".  What I trying to say is my paint stokes are
from the front of the boat to the back of the boat. 
Hope that makes sense; don't think I have explained
that well.  Anyway the above is just how I do it by
myself & I can get a very thick smooth coat of paint
on.
