Unepoxy is a hard protective anti-fouling paints for use on the boat double bottoms.It can be used across most aged hard antifouling coatings. old soft anti-fouling paints should be removed for best adhesion. It can be applied to glass fibre craft with outboards or outdrives with no risk of electrolysis, provided that the device is not punishable. Unepoxy fits also to all non-aluminium trailered boats used for duration of up to two weeks in salt or fresh water before retrailering. Unepoxy Standard has excellent adhesion to glass fiber, wood and steel hull and is perfect for both power and sail boats. Its compatibility with all properly prepared hard bottom colors allows secure overcoating without fear of lifting.
DETAILED INFORMATION
Unepoxy contains copper oxide.As a result, there is a tendency to settle there, especially if the color has been shelved for several months.It is necessary to mix before you use colour. shake can color the color of a mechanical Shaker. before using the check box in the sides and bottom of the can check all the pigment has been mixed.When mixing will be done with a paddle, wood or an electric drill mixer, pour off the half of the liquid from the top of the can to another, and then the correct mix in all settled pigments.then the two parts together thoroughly remix. comply with all the application instructions, cautions, conditions and limitations to obtain optimal performance; refer to individual labels and tech sheets for detailed instructions when using the associated products, etc. not Unepoxy Attenuate more than 10% (12 grams per gallon) or insufficient color film thickness will take place, and early closure will likely erosion.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Coating performance in general are in proportion to the degree of pretreatment. follow recommendations carefully, avoiding shortcuts. Inadequate preparation of surfaces will virtually assure insufficient coating performance.

The above dry times are minimum levels.Unepoxy Antifouling might be recoated after the minimum time is displayed, and started up to 60 days after painting.
Mix the color depth to insure themselves against toxins is evenly spread throughout may.All surfaces must be clean, dry and properly prepared before you paint.Unepoxy on aluminium does not apply.
Previously painted surfaces: If the load is in good condition, thoroughly with 80 grit sand paper then solvent clean with 120 Brushing thinner to remove the remnants.Apply two finish protective coatings of Unepoxy.If the surface is smooth or in poor condition, delete to the bare surface by grinding or use Pettit 9051 Bio Blast Paint Remover. proceed with the appropriate bare system described below.Old Tin copolymers to delete or sealed with Pettit 6627 Tie Coat Primer before applying Unepoxy Antifouling.
Bare glass fibre: All naked glass fibre, irrespective of age, should be carefully cleaned several times with Pettit 95 fiberglass Dewaxer.Sand thoroughly with 80 grit sand paper to a dull, frosty rewash sanded surface finish and with 95 fiberglass Dewaxer remove abrasive pad residues; then use two coats of Unepoxy Standard, after the application instructions carefully observation of the above instructions will contribute to long term adhesion for the subsequent years of anti-fouling paint.To eliminate the sanding block operation, wash the glass fibre three times with Pettit 95 Dewaxer only.Then apply a Coat of Pettit 6999 Sandless Primer.Consult the label Sandless Primer for full application and antifouling topcoating instructions.
Bare Wood: Sand the whole surface with 80 grit paper.Wash clean with 120 brushing paint thinner; Apply a layer of Unepoxy thinned 25% with 120 brushing paint thinner, allow an overnight dry, light sand and wipe clean.Apply two finish protective coatings of Unepoxy.
Bare Steel: Sandblästrande to SSPC-SP 6 Commercial blast, dump the remainder with clean, compressed air and immediately apply two coats 4700/4701 after application and recoat instructions. Alternatively leave the sand with 80 grit sand paper or power hand tool clean and then remove residue with clean compressed air or clean, solvents contained rags. immediately apply a layer of Pettit 6980 Rustlok Steel Primer and leave to dry for a course free State (usually 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on temperature); then use two coats of Pettit protect 4700/4701 High Build epoxy primer on application and recoat instructions. Apply two coats of Unepoxy.
Keels-lead: Annoy surface to light metal; wipe clean using Pettit 120 brushing paint thinner; apply a thin layer of 6455/044 Metal Primer; allow to dry for two hours. Apply a layer of Pettit 6627 Tie Coat Primer and then, if necessary, apply epoxy Fairing fairing Compound. follow with an additional layer of 6627 Tie Coat Primer per label directions.

Keels-Steel or Cast Iron: annoy surface to light metal; wipe clean using Pettit 120 brushing paint thinner; Apply a layer of 6980 Rustlok Steel Primer, makes it possible to dry only 1 to 2 hours before overcoating. If required, then use the fairing, epoxy fairing Compound followed by a layer of Pettit 6627 Tie Coat Primer. Apply two finish protective coatings of Unepoxy.
MAINTENANCE
No antifouling paint can be effective in all circumstances of the exposure; the man made and natural occurrences can negatively affect the anti-fouling paint performance. Extreme hot and cold water temperatures, silty sediment, dirt, oil, brackish water and electrolysis can destroy an antifouling paint; we speak therefore strongly to the bottom of the boat is checked regularly to make sure it is clean and that no growth occurs; Easily Scrub with a soft brush to remove something from antifouling paint canvas. Scrubbing is particularly important with the boats that are available for long periods; the surface is most effective when the boat is used regularly.
