Surface Preparation
|
|
E PAINT SN-1 is compatible with many existing bottom systems, but consult your E Paint Company
Representative for recommendations regarding specific product compatibility. Do not apply E PAINT
SN-1 over soft ablative coatings or unprimed metal.
|
Previously Painted Surfaces
-
E PAINT SN-1 may be applied over most existing bottom systems, but consult your E Paint Company
Representative for recommendations regarding specific product compatibility. The old antifouling paint
must be secure, intact and hydroblasted clean. Any loose or flaking material should be removed by
sanding, hydroblasting or washing the surface with vigorous abrasion. Wipe surface to remove stubborn
contaminates and sanding debris. Exposed metal surfaces must be primed with EP-Prime 1000 or
equivalent prior to application of E PAINT SN-1. Apply E PAINT SN-1 antifouling paint as per the
instructions contained in this bulletin.
To renew old E PAINT SN-1, sand with 80 grit or slurry blast to roughen surface and remove loose or flaking paint. Wipe surface to remove stubborn contaminates and sanding debris. Exposed metal surfaces must be primed with EP-Prime 1000 or EP-Prime 2000 prior to application of E PAINT SN-1. Apply E PAINT SN-1 antifouling paint as per the instructions contained in this bulletin.
|
Unpainted Surfaces
-
Bare aluminum surfaces should be abraded to a 2-3 mil profile and properly cleaned to remove salt,
oils and other contaminates. Aluminum should be primed with EP-Prime 1000 or equivalent prior to
application of E PAINT SN-1. Consult your E Paint Company Representative for recommendations
regarding acceptable epoxy primers. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for dry times, film
thicknesses and overcoating with an antifouling coating. Apply E PAINT SN-1 when the last coat of
epoxy is stack free but soft to finger pressure. If the epoxy has cured too hard, apply another thin mist
coat of epoxy within recommended recoat intervals, and then apply E PAINT SN-1 as described above.

Mixing and Thinning
|
|
Power shake E Paint SN-1. If power shaker is not available, thoroughly mix the product until a homogenous
blend results. Thinning is not recommended. If needed thin up to 10% with EP13 for spray application.
Clean up with EP13.

|
Application
|
E PAINT SN-1 is formulated for easy application by roller, spray, or brush. Only apply E PAINT SN-1 to
clean, dry, well prepared surfaces. Apply three coats of E PAINT SN-1. Film thickness control is
critical. Use of a signal coat is highly recommended as further assurance that the proper film thicknesses
are applied. See specification data for dry and launch times. Cooler temperatures will require increasing
the minimum times between coating and launching.
WARNING! DO NOT incorporate into this E Paint coating any thinner, additive, modifier, converter or
related product by any manufacturer
other than E Paint. Any such substitution can jeopardize the
unique chemical characteristics of the E Paint product.
