Preparation

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES: In Good Condition Remove loose paint by sanding with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue.
In Poor Condition:  Remove antifouling paint in poor condition with Interstrip Semi-Paste 299E.
BARE FIBERGLASS: It is very important that bare fiberglass be properly prepared to prevent delamination of the antifouling paint. Begin by scrubbing the surface thoroughly with a stiff brush using soap and water to remove loose dirt and contamination. Flush with fresh water to remove the soap residue and allow to dry. Remove mold release wax using one of the following Interlux products, Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601V or Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 following the product label instructions. Fill any surface imperfections with Interlux Watertite following the label instructions. After the surface has been properly cleaned, follow one of the application systems below.
No Sand System - Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Apply one coat of InterProtect 2000E or Fiberglass No-Sand Primer following the label instructions for applying the primer and overcoating with antifouling paint. Apply at least two coats of Interlux Micron CSC allowing appropriate drying times.
Sanding System - Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Sand entire surface well with 80 grade (grit) paper until flat matte finish is obtained. Remove sanding residue. Apply at least two coats of Micron CSC allowing appropriate drying times.
Blister Prevention System: Apply The InterProtect® system for the prevention of blisters. Contact the Interlux Technical Service Department at 1-800-468-7589 or visit yachtpaint.com for complete application instructions of this system.
