- Limitations
Apply in good weather when air and surface temperatures are above 50° F (10°C). Surface temperature must be a least 10°F above dew point. For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-80° F (21-27°C) temperature range prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage between 40° and 100° F (4-38° C). Prolonged atmospheric exposure of this product may detract from performance. Technical and application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating and proper coating application procedures. As application, environmental and design factors can vary significantly due care should be exercised in the selection, verification of performance, and use of the coating.
- Surface Preparation
- Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, wax, or other foreign material by solvent or detergent washing.
- Compatibility: For pleasure craft applications, please refer to our Sea Hawk Compatibility Chart to ensure compatibility when applying Islands 99 plus antifouling paint over existing bottom paint.
- Previously Painted Surfaces: Islands 99 plus is suitable for this substrate. For correct procedures please refer to the Application Guidelines for Fiberglass/Gelcoat.
- Fiberglass or Vinyl Ester Hulls: Islands 99 plus is suitable for this substrate. For correct procedures please refer to the Application Guidelines for Fiberglass/Gelcoat.
- Wood Surfaces: New Work - Sand the wood surface with 80 grit sandpaper, remove the sanding dust with Sea Hawk S-80 Cleaner, allow to dry and apply the first coat of Islands 99 plus bottom paint. Reduce the first coat (only) 20% with Sea Hawk 2033 Thinner to maximize surface penetration. Next, apply whatever seam compound if needed, allow to dry in accordance with the product label and apply two more coats of Islands 99 plus without any Thinner reduction.
- Aluminum: Not recommended for use on aluminum hulls.
- Application Data
- Mixing: Islands 99 plus antifouling paint contains a low concentration of copper oxide and may have settled in transit. Product must be thoroughly mixed with power mixer/shaker until uniform.
