.PRODUCT APPLICATION .

SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be free of dirt, loose paint, oil, grease,

wax, soap and any other foreign matter. Wash the surface

with a solution of 2 cups household ammonia per gallon of

water and rinse well. Remove existing mildew with

household bleach instead of ammonia. DO NOT MIX

AMMONIA AND BLEACH TOGETHER. Rinse thoroughly

and allow to dry.

BARE FIBERGLASS - The entire surface, regardless of

age, must be thoroughly washed with a fiberglass cleaner

to remove all traces of mold release agents and wax.

Sand the gel coat with 80-120 grit sandpaper to create a

dull, frosty appearance. Wipe the surface with mineral

spirits or a tack rag to remove sanding dust and residue. If

the surface is in excellent condition, proceed with

application of the Topside Paint. Rough surfaces or

imperfections should be repaired. Fill all nicks and gouges

with a fiberglass repair compound. Allow to harden and

then sand smooth. Remove sanding dust with mineral

spirits or use a tack rag. Follow with a coat of Marine

Coatings Primer for Wood & Fiberglass to smooth the

surface and provide a uniform base for the finish coat.

Sand smooth and remove sanding dust with solvent or use

a tack rag. Proceed with application of the first coat of

Topside Paint
