Preparation

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES

In good condition:

Any surface dirt or contamination must be carefully removed, as well as the inert layer.

Perform a high-pressure wash with fresh water (3000 psi/207 bar) and/or scraping and wet sanding using abrasive paper grade P80-120.

Do not sand dry.

If the old antifouling is incompatible or unknown, isolate it with International Primocon.

In poor condition:

Remove all traces of old antifouling using Interstrip.

PRIMER: Surface preparation of bare substrates is indicated on the technical data sheets of the relevant primers.

BARE POLYESTER: Apply Gelshield 200 as a primer for protection against osmosis, or Primocon.

STEEL/CAST IRON/LEAD/WOOD: Use Interprotect or Primocon as a primer coat.

PLYWOOD: Apply the Interprotect primer.
