Hi All

 

Hope your all well?

 

Got Loremca out of the water and have to Antifoul

 

this is my first time

 

just wondering the best way to do

i have check You tube to no avail but thought would check before i stared painting

 

I have jet washed back and majority its gone back to hull

 

 

on other areas i will have to sand back (not to sure what grade to use)

 

any pointers much appreciated

 

Many thanks biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

In case you weren't aware, antifoul won't stick to bare fibreglass, and you will need a primer coat first.

 

The other thing to consider is that a bare hull is ideal for osmosis prevention via the painting on of several layers of an epoxy coating. It's not cheap or quick, but if you plan to keep the boat for many years, it might be a long-term investment.

 

Alternatively, some of the members never antifoul as they use dry stack storage.

We dry stack and have no probs even ringing down in the morning with portlland marina. So i would check with the marina what works best for you (if in weymouth ask about the olympics)

Much appreciated

 

I have primed the hull and antifould in a nice matching blue

Looking very nice will add some pics

Glad to say that the paint went on the boat rather than me

Not bad for a Anti foul virgin
