Hempel Classic Boat Antifoul - 2500ml - Blue

Hempel Classic Antifoul is suitable for boats made of glass fibre, wood, and plywood.

It provides good protection for one full boating season. Due to its erodible nature, it requires reapplication annually.

Yes, it can generally be applied over existing sound antifouling paints of unknown type, but it's always recommended to test adhesion in a small area first. Do not use on aluminum hulls.

Yes, a minimum of two coats is recommended for optimal protection. Some areas, like the waterline, may benefit from a third coat.

The hull must be clean, dry, and free from grease and marine growth. Light abrasion may be necessary for good adhesion.

Allow the final coat to dry for the specified time before launching. This immersion time varies, so consult the product's technical data sheet for precise details.

No, this antifouling paint is not recommended for use on aluminum hulls as it can lead to galvanic corrosion.

Ensure the hull surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. The previous surface may require mechanical abrasion for better adhesion. Check that no incompatible coatings were applied previously.

Verify that the correct dry film thickness was applied. Ensure a minimum of two coats were used, and consider a third coat in areas prone to heavy fouling or wear. Check that the immersion time was respected before launching.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Filter the paint if necessary before use. Use clean tools and avoid applying in dusty or contaminated environments.

This is normal for erodible antifouls, especially in areas of high water flow or abrasion. Ensure consistent application thickness across the hull to promote even wear.
