GENERAL INFORMATION

Epoxycop is performance, value and reliability all in one. The fast dry formula allows it to be painted and launched in the same day and can be applied directly over most properly prepared antifouling paints. Epoxycop is recommended for use on the underwater areas of fiberglass, wood and properly primed metal (except aluminum) boat hulls. For use in fresh, salt, and brackish waters.

* Dependable season-long protection

* Fast dry; paint and launch in the same day

* Compatible with the majority of antifouling schemes

APPLICATION AND USE

Preparation PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:

In Good Condition: Remove all traces of loose paint and contamination by sanding the entire surface with 80 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper; wipe surface clean with Special Thinner 216. Apply at least 2 coats of Epoxycop.

In Poor Condition: Completely remove all old antifouling paint using Interstrip 299E for fiberglass and wood, and by sandblasting to near white metal for steel. After the surface has been properly prepared follow the application systems below.

BARE FIBERGLASS: It is very important that bare fiberglass be properly prepared to prevent delamination of the antifouling paint. Begin by scrubbing the surface thoroughly with a stiff brush using All-Purpose Boat Soap and water to remove loose dirt and contamination. Flush with fresh water to remove the soap residue and allow to dry. Remove mold release wax using one of the following Interlux products, Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601 or Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202 following the product label instructions. To be certain the contamination has been removed, run water over the surface. If the water beads up or separates, repeat cleaning process. When the water sheets off, all contamination has be removed. Repair any surface imperfections using Watertite, Interfill 830 or Interfill 833 following label instructions. After the surface has been properly prepared follow one of the application systems below.

No Sand System – Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Apply one coat of InterProtect 2000E or Fiberglass No-Sand Primer following the label instructions for applying the primer and overcoating with antifouling paint. Apply two coats of Epoxycop allowing appropriate drying times.

Sanding System – Clean the surface following the preparation procedure above. Sand entire surface well with 80 grade (grit) paper until flat matte finish is obtained. Remove sanding residue and wipe with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. Sand and wipe clean. Apply two coats of Epoxycop allowing appropriate drying times.

Blister Prevention System: Apply the Interprotect system for the prevention of blisters. Contact the Interlux Technical Service Department at 1-800-468-7589 or visit yachtpaint.com for complete instructions on the application of The InterProtect System.

BARE WOOD: Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue by wiping with Special Thinner 216. Apply the first coat of Epoxycop thinned 10% with Special Thinner 216 or Brush-Ease 433. Fill seams, if necessary, with Seam Compound Brown 30 (if necessary). Apply two or more coats of Epoxycop unthinned, allowing for the appropriate dry times.

UNDERWATER METALS: Contact the Interlux Technical Service Department at 1-800-468-7589 for full information on how to properly prime underwater metals.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep 92 is a powerful blend of cleaning agents and silica grit that de-waxes, etches, cleans, and prepares bare fiberglass for painting. Regardless of the age of the boat, the initial surface preparation is imperative. Residual parting agents utilized by the boat manufacturer to pop the boat from the mold may still be present, although not visibly apparent. This solvent-free product is designed to provide an easy and trouble-free method of removing unwanted contaminants, grease, wax, dirt, and mold release agents from fiberglass surfaces prior to painting. When used in conjunction with 6998 Skip Sand Primer or 6999 Sandless Primer and antifouling paint, it is part of an easy 1-2-3 system of bottom painting.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Pour out some of the 92 Bio-Blue into a roller pan, then using a short nap roller (3/16 inch maximum) apply the 92 Bio-Blue Hull Surface Prep to an area approximately 5 feet by 5 feet.

Once the area has been covered with the Bio-Blue, scrub the surface using a fine to medium Scotch-Brite pad. The scrubbing should be done by hand in a circular motion. Be sure to wear splash goggles and rubber gloves and do not let 92 Bio-Blue come in contact with your skin. Be sure that all areas coated with the 92 Bio-Blue have been scrubbed with the Scotch-Brite pad. Stay within the 5 feet by 5 feet area and do not attempt to scrub beyond this area once the 92 Bio-Blue has been rolled on. After the section has been scrubbed, wipe the area with a wet sponge until all of the 92 Bio-Blue and scrubbing residue has been completely removed from the surface. Rinse sponge and change rinse water often. Where feasible, hose off the surface residue and residual 92 Bio-Blue with fresh water. Continue prepping the hull in this manner until the entire surface to be painted has been thoroughly cleaned. The gel coat should have a frosty look when the surface has been properly prepared.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This highly effective, hard antifoulant is a premium quality bottom paint that produces a hard, smooth and durable fi nish. It contains a high concentration of cuprous oxide (up to 66.9%), providing superior protection against the attachment of barnacles, hydroids, bryozoa, algae and other destructive marine and fresh water organisms. It also protects wood boats against borers.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Super Premium Performance is heavily loaded with cuprous oxide. As a result of this there is a tendency for settling to occur, especially if the paint has been on the shelf for several months. It is necessary to thoroughly mix the paint before using. If possible shake the can of paint on a mechanical paint shaker. Before using check the sides and bottom of the can to make sure all the pigment has been mixed in. If mixing is going to be done with a wooden paddle or an electric drill mixer, pour off half of the liquid from the top of the can into another can and then properly mix in any settled pigment; then remix the two parts together thoroughly.

Adhere to all application instructions, precautions, conditions and limitations to obtain optimum performance. Refer to individual labels and tech sheets for detailed instructions when using associated products, etc. Do not thin Super Premium Performance more than 10% (12 ounces per gallon) or inadequate paint fi lm thickness will occur and premature erosion of the fi nish will be likely.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Coating performance, in general, is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Follow recommendations carefully, avoiding shortcuts. Inadequate preparation of surfaces will virtually assure inadequate coating performance.

MAINTENANCE
No antifouling paint can be effective under all conditions of exposure. Man made pollution and natural occurrences can adversely affect antifouling paint performance. Extreme hot and cold water temperatures, silt, dirt, oil, brackish water and even electrolysis can ruin an antifouling paint. Therefore, we strongly suggest that the bottom of the boat be checked regularly to make sure it is clean and that no growth is occurring. Lightly scrub the bottom with a soft brush to remove anything from the antifouling paint surface. Scrubbing is particularly important with boats that are idle for extended periods of time. The coating is most effective when the boat is used periodically.

SYSTEMS
Mix paint thoroughly to ensure toxicants are evenly dispersed throughout the can. All surfaces must be clean, dry and properly prepared prior to painting. Do not apply Super Premium Performance on aluminum hulls or outdrives.

Previously Painted Surfaces: If the previous coating is in good condition, thoroughly sand with 80 grit paper then solvent clean with 120 Brushing Thinner to remove residue. Apply two fi nish coats of Super Premium Performance. If the previous coating is soft or in poor condition, remove to the bare surface by sanding or using Pettit 9051 Bio Blast Paint Remover. Proceed with appropriate bare system as described below. Old tin copolymers should be removed or sealed with Pettit 6627 Tie Coat Primer before applying Super Premium Performance. When sanding old bottom paint, always wet sand and take precautions against getting the material in your eyes, nostrils, open cuts, etc.

Bare Fiberglass: All bare fi berglass, regardless of age, should be thoroughly washed with soap, ammonia and water. Let dry, then clean several times with Pettit 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer or 120 Brushing Thinner. Sand thoroughly with 80 grit sandpaper to a dull, frosty fi nish and rewash the sanded surface with 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer or 120 Brushing Thinner to remove sanding residue. Then apply two coats of Super Premium Performance, following application instructions. Careful observation of the above instructions will help ensure long term adhesion of this antifouling paint subsequent years.

To eliminate the sanding operation, wash the fi berglass three times using Pettit 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer only. Then apply one coat of Pettit 6999 Sandless Primer. Consult the Sandless Primer label for complete application and antifouling topcoating instructions.
