wheels 543 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The idea of using different colours was so that the skipper could tell when the fresh stuff was getting close to being gone. The older coat would start showing through. It is good to remember the areas that the latest coat has completely gone from and double up the coats of new stuff in those areas.

splat 55 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Ballystick...was boat epoxy tow pack primed then coppercoat, then micron 66 black? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 72 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The boat had Coppercoat from new, unsure what was under that. I far as I knew it was the first coating. Micron 66 Black was applied directly to that coat because the Coppercoat wasn't working. The keel had to be coated lightly or not at all except for the bulb to avoid it being stuck in the raised position. All coats we put on was Micron 66 subsequently.

straycat 7 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Spoke to a guy at Sandspit who was scrubbing barnacles off his launch. He was most disappointed with W&F Warpaint, 6 months and had a lot of growth!! His comment "Expensive mistake". I guess others may have had better results? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
