APPLICATION AND USE Preparation BARE GRP: Wash down with Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Sand with 180 grade (grit) paper. PREVIOUSLY ANTIFOULED SURFACE: Remove using Interstrip. Wash down with Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Sand with 180 grade (grit) paper. EXPOSED LAMINATE: Patch prime using Gelshield solventless epoxy. Method Remove any dust from the surface. Apply required number of coats, detailed in the specification sheets (minimum 250 microns DFT). For ease, alternate the grey and green colours starting and ending with grey. BILGES: Apply 2 coats only provided there is a gelcoat on the inside of the hull. If no gelcoat, use Gelshield solventless epoxy. Hints Mixing Stir or shake individual components thoroughly. Add Curing Agent to the Base, stir and leave for 10 minutes to allow bubbles to disperse. Thinner YTA061 Thinners No.7 Other Can be used down to 5°C but for maximum performance, temperature should be above 10°C. Some Important Points New hulls must be post-cured for a min. period of 4 weeks before applying Gelshield 200 . Do not apply direct to the exposed laminate. Do not use below 5°C. Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Product temperature should be minimum 10°C and maximum 35°C. Substrate temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Compatibility/Substrates GRP Gelcoats & cured laminate . It should not be used over any one pack products. Number of Coats 5 minimum by brush (min. 250 µm DFT) Coverage (Theoretical) - 9.10 (m²/lt) by brush (Practical) - 8.10 (m²/lt) by brush Recommended DFT 50 microns dry by brush Recommended WFT 110 microns wet by brush Application Methods Brush, Roller TRANSPORTATION,STORAGE AND SAFETY INFORMATION Storage GENERAL INFORMATION: Exposure to air and extremes of temperature should be avoided.
