INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION FOR BOTTOM PAINTING WARNING!
Do not use any sanding, sandblasting or other abra-
sive reparation of the bottom, as this will void your
hull blistering warranty. See the warranty information
at the beginning of this manual.
BOTTOM PAINTING
Choose a bottom paint system that suits the envi-
ronment in your area.
Follow the procedure recommended by the manu-
facturer of the paint, while making sure not to void
the Hunter Hull Blistering Warranty. The procedure
for preparing and painting the bottom varies between
paint manufacturers, but should always include de-
waxing, etching and sometimes priming of the sur-
face.
EPOXY BARRIER COAT
Sanding of the gel coat bottom surface will be per-
mitted should a customer wish to have an epoxy
barrier coat applied to the hull, (example Interlux In-
terprotect 1000, 2000, West System or VCTar). This
will not void the Five-Year Blister Warranty.
Hunter Marine refers to epoxy barrier coatings as
mentioned above, not epoxy primer paints.
If an epoxy barrier coat is applied to a Hunter vessel,
it must be registered with the Warranty Department
prior to application of the product. If the dealer ap-
plies bottom paint only, sanding will not be allowed
and the no sanding system must be used.
Cleaning agents and paint ingredients may be
flammable and/or explosive, or dangerous to in-
hale. Be sure to use adequate ventilation, and
appropriate safety clothing.
