Preparation

The surface must be clean and dry. When treating osmosis, prime with Gelshield first. Otherwise, prime as below.

Bare Grp: Gelshield 200 or VC Tar 2 for osmosis protection, or Primocon.
Steel/Iron: Above water: Inter Protect or Yacht Primer. Below water: Inter Protect, or VC Tar 2, or Primocon.
Aluminium: Above water: Inter Protect or Yacht Primer. Below water: Inter Protect, or VC Tar 2, or Primocon.
Lead: VC Tar 2, or Inter protect or Primocon.
Bare Wood: Above water: Yacht primer. Below water: Inter Protect or Primocon.

Method

Remove any dust from the surface. Apply firmly in a spreading action. Fill to a level slightly above the surrounding area. When hardened, sand smooth with 80­220 grade wet or dry paper. If left longer than 24 hours, two-component epoxy fillers will need sanding with 80­220 grade wet or dry paper to ensure a good physical key.

Hints

• Mixing: Mix the two components thoroughly to an even colour. Mix both components together thoroughly to correct the mix ratio.
• Thinning: Do not thin.
• Cleaner: YTA061 International Epoxy Thinners 7.
• Ventilation and Humidity Control: Avoid cold, damp conditions, which may cause a stickiness to form on the surface. This should be removed by water and a 3M Scotchbrite pad or sanding.
• Other: Large areas should be sanded with paper on a board twice the length of the repair area. This will allow for the curvature of the hull. Small areas can be sanded using a sanding block. Sand as soon as possible after the sandable time, as Watertite continues to harden with time.
