Extended Information

SURFACE PREPARATION

All surfaces must be free of dirt, loose paint,

oil, grease,wax, soap and any other foreign matter.
Clean painted areas by washing with a solution of
2 cups household ammonia per

gallon of water and rinse well. Remove

existing mildew with household bleach.

Do not mix together ammonia and bleach.

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. Rough surfaces or imperfections

should be repaired. Fill all nicks and gouges
with a fiberglass repair compound

and sand smooth when hard. Remove sanding dust with

mineral spirits or a tack rag.

BARE WOOD
Sand the surface smooth with 80-120 grit

sandpaper. Wipe the surface with

mineral spirits or xylene to remove

sanding dust and residue.

Fill all screw heads

or small holes with a wood repair compound

Sand smooth and solvent clean. Apply a coat of
Rust-Oleum Marine Coatings Spar

Varnish thinned 10% with mineral spirits to

penetrate and seal the porous grain.
Allow to dry 24 hours and sand smooth with
150 grit sandpaper. Apply one full

coat of Primer for Wood & Fiberglass.

Allow to dry four hours and sand smooth with

150 grit sandpaper. Repeat

Primer application as necessary to achieve smooth

surface. Sand the final coat of Primer

with 220 grit sandpaper then finish with
two coats of Topside Paint.

Bare wood that has been

previously coated with epoxy

must be thoroughly scrubbed with

an ammonia/water-solution, rinsed thoroughly,
then sanded with 120 grit

sandpaper and solvent cleaned. Follow with a coat of

Topside Primer to smooth the surface and provide a

uniform base. Sand and solvent clean

and then proceed with the first coat of

Topside Paint.

PAINTED SURFACES

Old paint is in good, sound condition

should be washed thoroughly with mineral spirits

or xylene. Sand smooth with 80 grit sandpaper

and solvent wipe with mineral spirits or a
tack rag to remove residue. Apply a

coat of Rust-Oleum Primer for Wood &

Fiberglass. If the old paint is in poor condition,
remove it with a paint and varnish remover

or by sanding.

APPLICATION

Apply when air (ambient) temperature is between
50-90°F(10-32°C) and the relative humidity is below 85%.

Do not apply on extremely humid days (90% humidity
or above) or when rain is threatening. Do not apply in the late

afternoon outdoors as the wet film may be adversely

affected by dew. When working in cooler temperatures, be

sure the air and surface temperatures will remain at or

above 50°F for at least 4 hours after application.

Thoroughly agitate to ensure any settled pigment is
re-dispersed before use. Apply with a

high quality brush, roller, conventional or airless spray.
For brush or roller application, apply

full strength. In hot weather, thin with

5% mineral spirits to maintain a wet edge.

On large, smooth surfaces, apply using

a short nap or foam roller cover followed
immediately by back brushing. If using

conventional spray application,

thin 5% with xylene and apply one thin, even coat.
After four hours, lightly sand

with 150 grit sandpaper and apply a second coat.

Always wipe with a tack cloth immediately

after sanding to remove

any airborne dust that may have settled

on the surface. If two or more coats are applied

within four hours (at 70°F) or

excessive wet film is applied (greater than 5 wet mils)

these conditions will lead to insufficient drying of the
paint and will yield soft paint films. If using airless spray, apply

using 1,600-2,400 psi with a 0.013-0.017 inch tip. If

necessary, thin up to 5% with xylene.

DRY TIME

Dries to the touch in 1 hour at 70°F and can

be recoated after 4 hours. Full cure is achieved at 72

hours.

CLEAN-UP

Clean up application tools and equipment with xylene.
