    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
    Perfection 2-part polyurethane is the ultimate performing, high gloss topside finish. It provides the longest-lasting, ultra-high gloss finish that has superb colour-retention, together with excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. It has been formulated specifically to enable skilled amateur users to achieve professional-quality results with ease. UV filters combined with the chemical cure of the polyurethane to give the longest life possible.
    * Hardest, abrasion-resistant finish making it an excellent choice for use on high wear areas e.g. decks (with Intergrip additive).
    * Chemically resistant to diesel, petrol, oil, mild acids and alkalis

    APPLICATION AND USE
    Preparation PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
    In Good Condition: Wash down with Yacht Line Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Abrade with 280-320 grade (grit) paper.
    In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings and prime the substrate.
    PRIMING: All preparation for bare substrates is covered on the appropriate primer datasheet.
    BARE WOOD: Prime with UCP or Interprotect.
    STEEL: Prime with Interprotect.
    ALUMINIUM: Pre-prime using Etch Primer. Prime with Interprotect.
    GRP: Wash down with Yacht Line Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Sweep blast or abrade with 180-220 grade paper. No priming necessary.
    AGED/WEATHERED GELCOATS: Due to the potentially porous nature of aged/weathered gelcoats the risk of solvent/moisture entrapment after painting is much higher than when gelcoat is new. As a result this entrapment could lead to blistering of the paint film. To reduce the risk of paint film blistering it is recommended that 3 coats of Interprotect are applied to seal the gelcoat. Interprotect must be overcoated with Perfection Undercoat prior to topcoat application.
    ALL SUBSTRATES: Use Perfection Undercoat.


    Method Sand the undercoat smooth with 320-400 grade (grit) wet or dry paper. Remove dust with a tack rag. Apply 2-3 coats.


    Hints Mixing Stir contents of each part prior to mixing. Add Curing Agent to the Base, stir and leave for 20 minutes to allow bubbles to disperse.
    Thinner International Retarder Thinner #9.
    Cleaner International Retarder Thinner #9.
    Ventilation and Humidity Control Apply in dry, well ventilated conditions. Avoid excessively humid conditions, over 80% relative humidity.
    Other Best applied at 15°C. For lighter colors, mix the first coat of finish 50:50 with the undercoat to improve the depth of color and opacity. Both products should be mixed with respective curing agents first. For best results when applying by roller, smooth off with a pad or brush. If using as a deck paint, mix in non-slip additive. Full hardness is achieved after 7-10 days at 15°C/59°F. If required, Perfection Matting Additive (YZM914) is available for use with Perfection. See Perfection Matting Additive datasheet for details on use.


    Some Important Points Do not use unless mixed thoroughly with the curing agent at specified ratio. Avoid painting in direct sunlight. Avoid applying late in the evening as condensation can cause a loss of gloss during overnight cure. Allow to dry in a well ventilated environment. Product temperature should be minimum 15°C/59°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 30°C/86°F. Substrate temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 30°C/86°F.


    Compatibility/Substrates Do not use Perfection on flexible constructions. Will crack on carvel and clinker/lapstrake hulls. Perfection should not be used over any one-pack products. Not suitable for permanently immersed surfaces.
