GENERAL INFORMATION

Old Salem Yacht White Undercoater and the regionalized brushing undercoaters are basically designed for application to wood above the waterline. A sealer should first be used on bare wood for water resistance and dry rot protection. On rough, painted wood that needs a smoother surface for the finish enamel, any of these undercoaters can be used. They are high-build products with excellent filling properties which can be used for a full, one-coat application.

COVERAGE: 400 square feet per gallon.

DRY TO RECOAT: 2 to 16 hours - consult label.

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE: 50 degrees or higher on all the undercoaters.

THINNER: Use Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner for 6149 Easypoxy White Undercoater, 6165 Yacht White Undercoater and 6148 Hi-Build Brush Undercoater.

SYSTEMS

WOOD: Seal new and bare wood with Pettit 2018 Clear Sealer. Sand and apply the standard undercoaters. On wood where the paint is in fairly good condition, sand thoroughly and apply the undercoater.

FIBERGLASS: The surface must be washed with Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner or 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer. Sand thoroughly and then rewash. Apply a coat of 6149 Easypoxy White Undercoater to the fiberglass surface. Let dry and sand thoroughly.
