Fiberglass Bottomkote Classic
Fiberglass Bottomkote Classic is a hard
modified epoxy, fast dry antifouling paint with clean stable colors that
has been developed to provide effective season-long protection on all
power and sailboats. The fast dry formula allows the boat to be painted
and launched in the same day. Fiberglass Bottomkote Classic is recommended
for use on the underwater areas of fiberglass, wood, and properly primed
metal (except aluminum) boat hulls. It can be used in fresh, salt and
brackish waters.

| Preparation |
PREVIOUSLY
PAINTED SURFACES:
In Good Condition: Remove all traces of loose paint and
contamination by sanding the entire surface with 80 grit wet-or-dry
sandpaper; wipe surface clean with Special Thinner 216. Apply at least 2
coats of Fiberglass Bottomkote® Classic.
In Poor Condition: Completely remove all old antifouling paint
using Interstrip 299E for fiberglass and wood, and by sandblasting to
near white metal for steel. After the surface has been properly prepared
follow one of the application systems below.
BARE FIBERGLASS: It is very important that bare fiberglass be
properly prepared to prevent delamination of the antifouling paint.
Begin by scrubbing the surface thoroughly with a stiff brush using
All-Purpose Boat Soap and water to remove loose dirt and contamination.
Flush with fresh water to remove the soap residue and allow to dry.
Remove mold release wax using one of the following Interlux products,
Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 or Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 following
the product label instructions. To be certain the contamination has been
removed, run water over the surface. If the water beads up or separates,
repeat cleaning process. When the water sheets off, all contamination
has be removed. Repair any surface imperfections using Watertite,
Interfill 830 or Interfill 833 following label instructions. After the
surface has been properly prepared follow one of the application systems
below.
No Sand System -: Clean the surface following the preparation
procedure above. Apply one coat of InterProtect 2000E or Fiberglass
No-Sand Primer following the label instructions for applying the primer
and overcoating with antifouling paint. Apply two coats of Fiberglass
Bottomkote® Classic allowing appropriate drying times.
Sanding System -: Clean the surface following the preparation
procedure above. Sand entire surface well with 80 grade (grit) paper
until flat matte finish is obtained. Remove sanding residue and wipe
with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Apply two coats of Fiberglass
Bottomkote® Classic allowing appropriate drying times.
Blister Prevention System:: Apply The InterProtect® system for
the prevention of blisters. Contact the Interlux Technical Service
Department at 1-800-468-7589 or visit yachtpaint.com for complete
application instructions of this system.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 (grit) grade paper. Wipe with Special
Thinner 216. Apply the first coat of Fiberglass Bottomkote® Classic
thinned 10% with Special Thinner 216 or Brush-Ease 433. Fill seams, if
necessary, with Seam Compound Brown 30 (if necessary). Apply two or more
coats of Fiberglass Bottomkote® Classic unthinned, allowing for the
appropriate dry times.
METALS: Contact the Interlux Technical Service Department at
1-800-468-7589 for full information on how to properly prime underwater
metals. |
