Preparation
BARE ALUMINUM: Sandblast or sand with medium grade (grit) emery cloth to a bright metal finish and wipe clean. Apply one coat of Interprotect 2000E that has been thinned 15-20% with Reducing Solvent 2316N. Apply the Interprotect the same day as blasting or sanding.
FACTORY FINISHED ALUMINUM: Prime with Primocon.
BARE FIBERGLASS: Begin by scrubbing the surface thoroughly with a stiff brush using soap and water to remove loose dirt and contamination. Flush with fresh water to remove the soap residue. Remove mold release wax using one of the following methods:
Apply Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 or Low VOC Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202V with a maroon, 3M Scotch-Brite® pad and scrub well. Flush with fresh water or wipe off with a clean, wet cloth ensuring that no traces of Fiberglass Surface Prep or Low VOC Fiberglass Solvent Wash remain.
or
An alternate method would be to dampen cheesecloth with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Wipe thoroughly to remove all surface contamination and cleaners. Wipe off with a clean, dry rag before liquid dries. Wipe only a few square feet at a time and change rags frequently. To be certain the contamination has been removed, run water over the surface. If the water beads up or separates, repeat one of the above methods. When the water sheets off, all contamination has been removed. Repair all scratches, nicks and dings by sanding those areas with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Fill the repair areas with Interlux® Watertite Epoxy filler.
No Sand System - Clean surface as above. Apply one coat of Interlux Interprotect 2000E. When the Interprotect 2000E is thumbprint tacky apply the first coat of Pacifica Plus. Apply the second coat of Pacifica Plus allowing the appropriate dry times between coats.
Sanding System - Clean surface as above. Sand entire gel coat well with 80-grit sandpaper until a flat, matte finish is obtained. Wipe surface clean. Repair imperfections with Interlux® Watertite Epoxy filler. Sand and wipe clean.
BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Clean with Special Thinner 216. Apply first coat reduced 10% with Special Thinner 216. Fill seams, if necessary, with Seam Compound Brown 30.
