Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Ideal when you want an ablative antifouling bottom paint that provides season-to-season protection and can be applied at lower temperatures for better painting schedule flexibility.
Common Issues: Most performance problems come from surface prep and coating build. For best results, make sure the hull is properly cleaned, sanded/abraded as required, and that you apply the recommended number of coats (at least two). If you’re working over an existing coating, ensure the old coating is aged, tightly adhered, and in sound condition; also confirm you’re not applying over incompatible coatings as described by the product instructions.
