Determined for dry film thickness 40 micron [1.6 mils] at standard conditions, see Hempel’s Explanatory Notes for details. Any masking tape used during paint application should be removed while the paint is still in the wet condition.

To obtain the drying time stated, it is important to maintain sufficient ventilation during application, drying and curing.

Condensation on the freshly applied coating should be avoided. Overcoating details

If the maximum overcoating interval is exceeded, roughening of the surface is necessary to ensure intercoat adhesion. Other remarks

The surface must be clean before overcoating.

Petrol, diesel, oil or acetone spills should not be allowed to pool. These products contain solvents which can damage the paint surface. Clean up spills using a suitable boat shampoo.
