For other antifoulings, not specifically listed, use the Micron Extra overcoating times. If maximum overcoating time is exceeded, sand with 180-220 grade wet or dry paper. APPLICATION AND USE Preparation STEEL: Degrease with solvent or Yacht Line Super Cleaner. Gritblast to Sa 2½ - near white metal surface. If gritblasting is not possible, grind the metal surface with 24-36 grit abrasive discs to a uniform, clean, bright metal surface with a 50-75 microns anchor pattern. Use angle grinder on small areas. ALUMINIUM: Above water:: Degrease with Super Cleaner. Pre-prime using Etch Primer. Alternatively, abrade with aluminium compatible paper or low pressure grit blast using aluminium oxide. Below water:: Degrease AND abrade or grit blast. ZINC/GALVANISED STEEL: Thoroughly degrease with Yacht Line Super Cleaner. Pre-prime using Etch Primer. STAINLESS STEEL: Light gritblast to produce a profile of 50 microns prior to applying a thinned coat of Interprotect as a tie coat. LEAD: Rub down with an emery cloth or power wire brush. Degrease with Super Cleaner. Pre-prime using Etch Primer. BARE WOOD: Sand with 80-280 grade paper. Preserve, if required, with Intertox. Remove oil from oily woods eg teak, using Thinner No. 9. Change rags frequently. Method If filling is required, use appropriate filler after the first coat of Interprotect has been applied. Before painting, remove any dust with a dust wipe. Apply the following number of coats: Steel/Aluminium/Alloy - Above 4, Below 5. Lead - 5, Wood - 3. When used as a tie coat over Interprime 820: 1 coat. Hints Mixing Stir or shake individual components thoroughly. Add Curing Agent to the Base, stir and leave for 10 minutes to allow bubbles to disperse. Thinner YTA061 Thinners No.7 GTA220 Cleaner Use GTA822 for equipment cleaning. Other For maximum performance to be achieved, the curing temperature should be above 10°C/50°F. Some Important Points Do not use below 5°C. Do not apply over conventional (one-pack) coatings. Do not apply when there is a chance of condensation forming on the substrate. Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Product temperature should be minimum 10°C and maximum 35°C. Substrate temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Compatibility/Substrates Interprotect can be used on all suitably prepared substrates and epoxy primers. Suitable for stainless steel trim tabs and stern drive gear. It should not be used over any one pack products. Not suitable for use on bronze or mixed alloy propellers. Number of Coats 1-5 by brush/roller depending on substrate and use Coverage (Theoretical) - 9.10 (m²/lt) by brush (Practical) - 8.10 (m²/lt) by brush Recommended DFT 50 microns dry by brush Recommended WFT 110 microns wet by brush Application Methods Brush, Roller TRANSPORTATION,STORAGE AND SAFETY INFORMATION Storage GENERAL INFORMATION: Exposure to air and extremes of temperature should be avoided. For the full shelf life of Interprotect to be realised ensure that between use the container is firmly closed and the temperature is between 5°C/40°F and 35°C/95°F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
