APPLICATION SYSTEMS: This product is easily applied by brush, roller or spray. When rolling, use only a high-quality short nap  roller cover. Apply using thin coats; over-application of this product will virtually assure inadequate coating performance. Mix paint  thoroughly to ensure biocides and pigments are evenly dispersed throughout the can. All surfaces must be clean, dry and properly  prepared prior to painting. 

Previously Painted Surfaces: If the previous coating is in good condition, thoroughly sand with 80 grit sandpaper then  solvent clean with 120 Brushing Thinner to remove residue. Apply two finish coats of this product. If the previous coating is  soft or in poor condition, remove to the bare surface by sanding  or using EZ Speed Strip™. Proceed with appropriate bare system  as described below.

NOTE: *Tin copolymer paints and modified antifouling paints  (SPC technology) should be sealed with a coat of 6627 Tie Coat Primer, allow to dry 4 hours and apply new antifouling paint.  This document is intended as a guide only, additional preparation may be involved due to condition and age of  substrate.

Bare Fiberglass:  All bare fiberglass, regardless of age,  should be thoroughly cleaned with Pettit 92 Bio-Blue Hull  Surface Prep or de- waxed several times with Pettit D-95  Dewaxer.

Sanding Method: Sand the hull thoroughly with 80-grit sandpaper to a dull,  frosty finish and rewash the sanded surface with 120 Brushing Thinner to remove sanding residue. Apply two thin coats of, following application instructions. Careful observation of application instructions will help ensure long-term adhesion of this and subsequent years’ antifouling paint.

Non-Sanding Method: Thoroughly clean, de-wax the surface with 92 Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep using a course Scotch-Brite pad. Thoroughly rinse all residue from surface and let dry. Then apply one coat of Pettit 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer. Consult the primer label for complete application and antifouling top coating instructions. Apply two thin coats of Odyssey® Triton.

Barrier Coat: Fiberglass bottoms potentially can form osmotic blisters within the gelcoat and into the laminate. Prepare the fiberglass surface as mentioned above (sanding method) then apply two -three coats of Pettit-Protect 4700/4701 Gray High Build Epoxy Primer or Pettit Protect 4100/4101 White High Build Epoxy Primer per label directions. Apply two thin coats of Premium HRT. See Technical Bulletin TB-1000 for detailed instructions.

Blistered Fiberglass: See Pettit Technical Bulletin TB-1000 Gelcoat Blister Repair and Prevention Specification for detailed instructions.

Bare Wood: Bare wooden hulls should be sanded thoroughly with 80-grit sandpaper and wiped clean of sanding residue. A coat of 6627 Tie-Coat Primer thinned 25% with 97 Epoxy Thinner should be applied directly to the bare wood. Allow drying 4 hours and then applying two un-thinned coats of Odyssey® Triton per instructions. Existing, hard antifouling paint should be thoroughly sanded. If priming is necessary on bare wood spots, apply a touch-up coat of 6627 Tie-Coat Primer thinned 25% with 97 Epoxy Thinner to these areas. Then apply the subsequent coats of Odyssey® Triton.

Steel Hulls: Clean surface to remove grease and dirt, remove loose rust and scale from the metal surface, scrape, sandblast or wire brush to 2-3 mil profile, blow off residue, then apply one or two coats of Pettit 6980 Rustlok Primer* followed by two coats of Pettit 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer. Follow with Odyssey® Triton.

KEELS – STEEL OR CAST IRON: Abrade surface to bright  metal; clean off residue. Apply one coat of 6980 Rustlok Steel  Primer, allowing to dry only 1-2 hours prior to over coating with  one coat of 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer. Then, if fairing  is required, apply 7050 EZ Fair Epoxy Fairing Compound  followed by one additional coat of 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy  Primer, finish with two thin coats of Odyssey® Triton.

BARE ALUMINUM: For maximum corrosion resistance,  sandblast to clean, bright metal and remove blasting residue  with clean, dry compressed air or a clean brush. Immediately  apply one to two coats of Pettit 4400/4401 Aluma Protect Epoxy  Primer, followed by two coats of Pettit Protect High Build Epoxy  Primer (4700/4701 or 4100/4101), per label directions. Apply  two thin finish coats of Odyssey® Triton.
