Battleship 97 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 That was rolled, waterblasted clean pretty easily then a wet sand with sanding screens and re-apply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 20 Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Would micron 66 go over sanded Copper epoxy? West with Current powder spheres. Probably a question for IP. I applied Micron 66 over Coppercoat with great results, good finish and it seemed to stay active for far longer than any subsequent recoats on our R930 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ballystick 20 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 That was early Micron 66, subsequent coats didn't seem to have the same punch as far as staying clean. But adhesion and finish on the Coppercoat (which was next to useless) was great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splat 38 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Funny....could never figure out why the boat has so many coats and colours....but starting to get older coat adhesion issues four colours below! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 403 Posted April 15, 2018 Report 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 38 Posted April 17, 2018 Report 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 20 Posted April 17, 2018 Report 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 1 Posted April 10, 2019 Report 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
