| Preparation |
BARE
FIBERGLASS: Begin by scrubbing well using soap and water and a stiff
brush. Rinse with fresh water. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove
sanding residue. Wipe with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Clean with Special
Thinner 216. Apply 1st coat thinned 10% with Viny-Lux® Solvent 355.
BARE METAL: Sandblast and apply 4-5 coats of Interprotect®
2000E/2001E. If blasting is not possible (or if more than 2 hours has
passed since blasting) sand or grind with coarse emery cloth and apply
Viny-Lux® Primewash 353/354 prior to Interprotect 2000E/2001E or
Interprotect 3000/3001.
EPOXY COATED WOOD: Prime with Interprotect 2000E/2001E.
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES: Remove, unless it is vinyl based.
Scrape and sand old vinyl coatings which are not adhering, clean and dry
surface. Remove antifouling paint in poor condition with Interstrip
Semi-Paste 299E. |

| Method |
Apply
3 coats of VC Offshore. BURNISHING: After the final coat of VC Offshore
has cured, wet sand with 400 grade (grit) paper, removing any
imperfections in the coat. Burnish with fine bronze wool until a shiny,
super smooth finish is obtained. Apply an extra coat if wet sanding or
burnishing. |

Conventional Spray Pressure Pot: Pressure: 3.44-4.08
bar/50-60 psi (gun pressure), pot pressure 10-15 psi. Tip Size: 1.8-2.2

|
| Some
Important Points |
Do
not apply VC Offshore in thin coats as this will lead to a rougher
surface and additional sanding. It may also lead to premature fouling.
Product temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F.
Ambient temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F.
Substrate temperature should be minimum 10°C/50°F and maximum 29°C/85°F. |
|
|
| Compatibility/Substrates |
Apply
to clean, dry, properly prepared surfaces only. Bare surfaces must be
sanded. Do not apply VC Offshore over non-vinyl antifouling paints. Do
not apply VC Offshore over aluminum. Do not use on aluminum boats,
outdrives or outboards without proper barrier coats. |
