That depends on the answers to several questions. Such as - What type
of boat do you have? How do you use your boat? How often do you use your
boat? Where do you keep your boat? What type of material is the hull
made of? Is the bottom currently painted? If so with what? As you can
tell this is not the easiest question to answer because every boat and
boat owner is different and expects different things from their boat and
their antifouling paint. This question is best answered on an individual
basis. For more information look in the Antifouling section of the Boat
Painting Guide and use the Interspec Specification System. Here's our
1-2-3 solution to this common compatibility question . . . 1. Check for
compatibility with old antifouling. If you know the current antifouling,
you can quickly determine whether your Interlux paint choice is
compatible by referring to the Boat Painting Guide (or on the Interlux
color card). 2. Apply Primocon primer and paint. If you don't know the
current antifouling, we've a simple solution. Apply Primocon 360R
primer, our universal "tie coat" primer. It will overcoat any
antifouling and establish a great foundation for your new Interlux
antifouling choice. After the Primocon dries, simply apply your new
antifouling. 3. Remove old antifouling. If you would prefer to remove
the old antifouling, Interlux Interstrip 299E is a great solution.
Gelcoat safe, Interstrip will remove several coats of paint in one
application. After stripping, you are ready to prime and paint your
newly cleaned hull! It's as easy as 1-2-3 . . .! |
