Interlux Aqua-One, Gallon
Product Description
Interlux Aqua-One combines outstanding antifouling performance in a convenient water-based ablative coating. The fast-dry formula makes application and clean-up easy, while the coating wears away during use, ensuring consistent performance and reducing the build-up of paint. Aqua One Performance Ablative is a waterbased antifouling delivering solid protection from barnacles, zebra mussels, slime, algae and other forms of marine fouling. The ablative action wears away with use, minimizing buildup and heavy sanding associated with the buildup of old spent coatings. It is for use below the waterline in all waters (salt, brackish and fresh water). Apply AquaOne Performance Ablative on power and sail boats; fiberglass, wood, and properly primed metal boat hulls. Do not use on aluminum.
*Not for use in California

Preparation PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES
In Good Condition Remove all traces of loose paint and contamination by sanding the entire surface well with 80 grit sandpaper. Remove sanding residue.
In Poor Condition Completely remove all old antifouling paint using Interstrip 299E for fiberglass and wood, and by sandblasting to near white metal for steel.
BARE FIBERGLASS It is very important that bare fiberglass be properly prepared to prevent delamination of the antifouling paint. Remove mold release wax using Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 following the product label instructions. Fill any surface imperfections with Interlux Watertite following the label instructions. After the surface has been properly prepared follow one of the application systems below.
Bare Fiberglass No Sanding System Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Apply one coat of Interlux Interprotect 2000E. Follow the instructions on the label or product datasheet of the primer used. Following overcoating guidelines for the primer, apply two coats of AquaOne allowing appropriate drying times.
Bare Fiberglass Sanding System Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue. Apply 2 coats of AquaOne following drying times.
Bare Fiberglass Blister Prevention System Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue. Apply Interprotect 2000E to a thickness of 10 mils.
BARE WOOD Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue. Apply the first coat of AquaOne thinned 10% with water. Fill seams, if necessary, with Seam Compound Brown 30. Apply the second coat of AquaOne allowing the appropriate dry times between coats.

Hints
Thinner Water. Thin no more than 10%.
Roller High density foam roller is recommended for best application.
Some Important Points DO NOT SPRAY.
Contains biocides. Read Health and Safety Data Sheet and/or Safety Precautions section on the label before use. Pad
areas should not be painted immediately prior to launch. Do not use in wet or humid conditions. Should it rain during or immediately after application, the coating must be exposed to dry conditions for at least 24 hours before immersion. In cold conditions, <10°C/50°F , 48 hours is recommended. Protect from frost.
Sanding When sanding antifouling paint use a vacuum sander that is attached to a properly maintained industrial vacuum with HEPA filters; if hand sanding of antifouling paint is necessary, wet sand only. Wear the proper Personal Protective Equipment. Never burnoff old antifouling paints.
