Preparation |
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES:
In Good Condition: Wash down with Yacht Line Super Cleaner, rinse
with fresh water and allow to dry. Abrade with 280-320 grade (grit)
paper.
In Poor Condition: Remove all previous coatings and prime the
substrate.
PRIMING: Substrate preparation is covered separately on the
primer datasheet.
BARE WOOD: Prime with Yacht Primer or UCP.
STEEL: Prime with Yacht Primer or Interprotect.
ALUMINIUM: Prime with Etch Primer followed by either Yacht Primer
or Interprotect.
GRP: Wash down with Yacht Line Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh
water and allow to dry. Abrade with 180-220 grade paper.
AGED/WEATHERED GELCOATS: Due to the potentially porous nature of
aged/weathered gelcoats the risk of solvent/moisture entrapment after
painting is much higher than when gelcoat is new. As a result this
entrapment could lead to blistering of the paint film. To reduce the
risk of paint film blistering it is recommended that 3 coats of
Interprotect are applied to seal the gelcoat. Interprotect must be
overcoated with Polyurethane Basecoat prior to topcoat application.
ALL SUBSTRATES: Use Pre-Kote undercoat. If spray applying Toplac,
Pre-Kote must be aged a minimum of 14 days. If this is not possible
Polyurethane Basecoat can also be used as an undercoat. |
|
|
|
Method |
Sand the undercoat smooth with 320-400 grade (grit) wet or dry paper.
Remove dust with a dust wipe. Apply 1-2 coats. |
|
|
|
Hints |
Mixing Stir well before use.
Thinner YTA800,YTA063 Thinner No.1 (Thinner No.10 for spraying)
Thinning In warm or windy conditions up to 10% of thinners may be
added to ease application.
Cleaner YTA800 Thinners No.1
Ventilation and Humidity Control Apply in dry, well ventilated
conditions. Avoid applying late in the evening as condensation can cause
a loss of gloss overnight.
Conventional Spray Thin 10-25% with Thinners No. 10 to a
viscosity of 18-22 secs (BS4) or 16-20 secs (DIN4). Pressure: 3-4 bar.
Tip Size: 1.1-1.4 mm. NOTE: Pre-Kote undercoat MUST be aged a minimum of
14 days before application of Toplac.
Other For lighter colours, mix the first coat of finish 50:50
with the undercoat to improve the depth of colour and opacity. For best
results when applying by roller, smooth off with a pad or brush. |

for permanently immersed surfaces. Do not use below 5°C. Ambient
temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. Product
temperature should be minimum 15°C and maximum 35°C. Substrate
temperature should be minimum 5°C/40°F and maximum 35°C/95°F. |

Storage |
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Exposure to air and extremes of temperature should be avoided. For the
full shelf life of Toplac to be realised ensure that between use the
container is firmly closed and the temperature is between 5°C/40°F and
35°C/95°F. Keep out of direct sunlight.
TRANSPORTATION:
Toplac should be kept in securely closed containers during transport and
storage.
