| Preparation |
BARE
FIBERGLASS: Begin by scrubbing well using soap and water and a stiff
brush. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Degrease by wiping with
a rag soaked in Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Sand with 80 grade (grit)
paper. Remove sanding residue. Wipe with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Clean with Special Thinner
216. Apply 1st coat thinned 10% with Viny-Lux® Solvent 355.
BARE METAL: Sandblast and apply 4-5 coats of Interprotect® 2000E/2001E.
If blasting is not possible (or if more than 2 hours has passed since
blasting) sand or grind with coarse emery cloth and apply Viny-Lux®
Primewash 353/354 prior to Interprotect 2000E/2001E or Interprotect
3000/3001.
EPOXY COATED WOOD: Prime with Interprotect 2000E/2001E.
PREVIOUSLY ANTIFOULED SURFACE: Remove, unless it is vinyl based. Scrape
and sand old vinyl coatings which are not adhering, clean and dry
surface. Remove antifouling paint in poor condition with Interstrip
Semi-Paste 299E. |

Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.47 bar/50-65 psi
(gun pressure); 10-15 psi (pot pressure). Tip Size: 1.8-2.2 mm/70-85
thou. Spraying of antifouling paints is prohibited in Canada.
Other BURNISHING: After the final coat of Baltoplate has cured, wet
sand with 400 grade (grit) paper, removing any imperfections in the
coat. Burnish with fine bronze wool until a shiny, super smooth finish
is obtained. |

temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F.

| Compatibility/Substrates |
Apply
to clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces only. Do not apply Baltoplate
in thin coats as this will lead to a rougher surface and additional
sanding. It may also lead to premature fouling. Do not apply Baltoplate
over non-vinyl antifouling paints. Do not apply Baltoplate over
aluminum. |
