| Preparation |
BARE
FIBERGLASS - (POLYESTER OR VINYLESTER): Scrub the surface thoroughly
with using a stiff brush and Interlux® All Purpose Boat Soap. Rinse
with fresh or salt water to remove loose dirt. Flush with fresh water to
remove the soap residue and allow to dry. Remove mold release wax using
one of the following methods. Apply Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 with
a maroon, 3M® Scotch-BriteTM pad and scrub well. Flush with fresh water
or wipe off with a clean, wet cloth ensuring that no traces of
Fiberglass Surface Prep remain. An alternative method would be to dampen
a cheesecloth with Interlux Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Wipe thoroughly
to remove all surface contamination and cleaners. Wipe off with a clean,
dry rag before liquid dries. To be certain the contamination has been
removed, run water over the surface. If the water beads up or separates,
repeat one of the above methods. When the water sheets off, all
contamination has be removed. Sanding does not remove contamination.
After the surface has been properly prepared follow the application
system below.
Bare Fiberglass - No Sanding System: Clean surface as above.
Apply one thin, continuous coat of Interlux Fiberglass No-Sand Primer
with brush or roller (do not spray; do not sand). Follow application
guidelines for the primer and apply Fiberglass Bottomkote® with Irgarol.
Bare Fiberglass -Sanding System: Clean the surface following the
preparation procedure above. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper and remove
sanding residue with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Repair defects with
Watertite, then sand and wipe clean. Apply Fiberglass Bottomkote® with
Irgarol.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) sandpaper and remove sanding
residue with Special Thinner 216. Repair defects with Watertite, then
sand and wipe clean. Apply first coat reduced 10% with Special Thinner
216 or Brush-Ease 433. Fill seams, if necessary, with Seam Compound
Brown 30. Apply 2 further coats of Fiberglass Bottomkote® with Irgarol.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
In Good Condition: Wet sand surface with 80 grade (grit) paper to
a clean firmly attached surface. Clean with Special Thinner 216.
In Poor Condition: Use Interstrip to remove all traces of
antifouling. Sand and wipe clean with Fibreglass Solvent Wash 202 for
fiberglass and wood substrates. For steel, sandblast or grind to bright
metal finish.
STEEL: Contact the Interlux Technical Service Department at
1-800-468-7589 for full information on how to properly prime underwater
metals. |
