INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION FOR
BOTTOM PAINTING
PAGE
23
WARNING!
Do not use any sanding,
sandblasting or other abrasive
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 environment in your area.
Follow the procedure recommended
by the manufacturer 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 dewaxing, etching and
sometimes priming of the surface.
EPOXY BARRIER COAT
Sanding of the gel coat bottom
surface will be permitted should a
customer wish to have an epoxy
barrier coat applied to the hull,
(example Interlux Interprotect 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 applies 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 inhale. Be sure to use
adequate ventilation, and appropriate
safety clothing.
