PAINTING LIGHT ALLOY BOATS
The
surface must be cleaned from any eventual oxides and roughened through
sanding or lightly sandblasting.
Remove
dust with an air-jet or a dry cloth, do not use any solvent for this task
as it could impair adhesion. If the surface needs degreasing, do this
using our antisilicone solvent SOLVENTE 102 before sanding.
Apply
one coat of PRIMEPOX. It is advisable to apply this product with a brush,
as this would facilitate the absorption of the product into the pores and
the amalgamation of eventual impurities with the film.
Where
necessary apply one or more coats of our EPOXY FILLER, without sanding
between the coats if they are applied within 16 hours from each other (at
20° C).
After
this stage the painting cycle changes depending on the part of the boat we
wish to paint.

two or three coats of ROSTAR (coal-tar epoxy anticorrosive paint) with a

good adhesion it is necessary to apply the coats within 24 hours from
each other (at 20° C), during summer this interval will be between 12
and 16 hours. Note

coating BARRIER. After applying BARRIER the surface must be sanded with
medium sandpaper (n.150-180).
