APPLICATION AND USE

Preparation	PREVIOUSLY ANTIFOULED SURFACE: In Good Condition: Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. If old antifouling is incompatible or unknown, seal with Primocon. In Poor Condition: Use Interstrip to remove all traces of antifouling. PRIMING: All preparation for bare substrates is covered on the appropriate primer datasheet. BARE GRP: Gelshield 200 for osmosis protection, or Primocon. STEEL/IRON: Interprotect or Primocon. LEAD: Etch Primer followed by Interprotect or Primocon. WOOD: Preserve, if required, with Intertox. Prime with Interprotect or Primocon.

Method	Apply 1 coat only. 2 coats will be required in the first season if applying to a new hull, one that has been stripped back to bare substrate, or over antifouling in poor condition. 2 coats are recommended for leading and trailing edges, waterline, rudder and keel.

Hints	Mixing Stir well before use. Thinner YTA085 Thinners No.3 Thinning Thinning is not recommended. Cleaner YTA085 Thinners No.3 Ventilation and Humidity Control Ensure adequate ventilation during use. Airless Spray Pressure: 176-210 bar. Tip Size: 2180. Other For Airmix spray application: Pressure: 2.5 bar. Tip Size: 20-113. True colour will develop after immersion. Take care to apply all the paint calculated even if it means applying an extra coat. It is important for performance to apply the correct thickness.
