Clean with Special Thinner 216. with conventional antifouling paint Removal is best but if this is not possible, start sanding with 80 grade (grit) paper and progressively sand with finer grades until the final sanding with 320 grade (grit). Remove sanding residue.

Hints
Mixing Pour the powder (stored under the plastic hat) into the can. Stir or shake thoroughly.
Thinner V172
Airless Spray Electric Airless Spray: Pressure: Full. Tip Size: 1.5-1.8 mm/60-70 thou. If spraying in hot, dry conditions or outside with wind, you can add VC 17m Thinner to VC 17m to slow down the dry time during application. Add up to 15% by volume. Spraying too far from the hull will cause dry spraying which will result in poor adhesion and negatively affect the antifouling performance of the product. Spraying of antifouling paints is prohibited in Canada.
Brush Do not brush apply.
Roller Use a short nap roller. Add V172 up to 15% should VC 17m be drying too quickly for application. Put just enough paint to fill the roller in the roller tray and put the lid back on the can.
Other Surfaces previously painted with VC 17m do not need to be sanded. Performance of the paint relies directly on the care taken in surface preparation, the application technique, and the number of coats applied. VC 17m is a copper color at application.
