Previously Painted Surfaces: To paint old hard and ablative antifoulings, thoroughly wipe down the surface with 120 Brushing Thinner, paying particular attention to waterline areas, then sand painted surface with 80 grit sandpaper. Old tin or copper copolymers or Teflon based antifoulings should be sanded thoroughly with 80 grit sandpaper to remove the chalky outer surface, wiped clean, apply 1 coat of Premium HRT. Soft, sloughing antifoulings should be removed before applying Premium HRT.
Bare Fiberglass: All bare fiberglass, regardless of age, should be thoroughly cleaned with 92 Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep or de-waxed several times with Pettit D-95 Dewaxer.
Sanding Method: Sand the hull thoroughly with A80-grit sandpaper to a dull, Premium HRT 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-SandingMethod: 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 Premium HRT.
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.
