PREVIOUSLY
PAINTED SURFACES:
In Good Condition: Remove all traces of loose paint and
contamination by sanding the entire surface with 80 grit
wet-or-dry sandpaper; wipe surface clean with Special Thinner 216.
Apply at least 2 coats of Bottomkote.
In Poor Condition: Completely remove all old antifouling
paint using Interstrip 299E for fiberglass and wood, and by
sandblasting to near white metal for steel.
BARE FIBERGLASS: It is very important that bare fiberglass
be properly prepared to prevent delamination of the antifouling
paint. Remove mold release wax using one of the following Interlux
products, Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 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.
BARE FIBERGLASS - NO SANDING 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 Bottomkote allowing
appropriate drying times.
BARE FIBERGLASS - 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 and wipe with Fiberglass Solvent
Wash 202. Apply at least two coats of Bottomkote 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 instructions on the application of The InterProtect
System.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 (grit) grade paper. Wipe with
Special Thinner 216. Thin first coat with 10-15% with Brush-Ease
433 or Special Thinner 216. Fill seams, if necessary, with Seam
Compound Brown 30 (if necessary). Apply two coats of Bottomkote (unthinned)
allowing appropriate drying times.
UNDERWATER METALS: Contact the Interlux Technical Service
Department at 1-800-468-7589 for full information on how to
properly prime underwater metals. Do not use on aluminum. |

Cleaner Painted Surfaces - Special Thinner 216. Bare
Fiberglass - Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 or Fiberglass Surface
Prep. Bare Wood - Special Thinner 216.
Airless Spray Tip Size: 0.53-0.66 mm/21-26 thou.

GENERAL
INFORMATION:
Exposure to air and extremes of temperature should be avoided. For
the full shelf life of Bottomkote 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.
TRANSPORTATION:
Bottomkote should be kept in securely closed containers during
transport and storage.
|
|
|
| Safety |
GENERAL:
Antifoulings should only be wet sanded. Never dry sand or burn-off
old antifoulings. Read the label safety section for Health and
Safety Information, also available from our Technical Help Line.
DISPOSAL: Do not discard tins or pour paint into water courses,
use the facilities provided. It is best to allow paints to harden
before disposal.
Remainders of Bottomkote cannot be disposed of through the
municipal waste route or dumped without permit. Disposal of
remainders must be arranged for in consultation with the
authorities.
