  1. How do I know that that the ANTIFOULING product I want to apply is compatible with my old antifouling paint?

    Applying your desired Interluxฎ antifouling has never been easier. Compatibility is an issue most boaters worry about, but there are three easy choices to solve this problem:

    1. Check for compatibility with old antifouling paint. If the product is known use the chart below, If you don't know the product, bring in a chip of the paint for us to have a look at.

    2. Use Primoconฎ as a tie coat primer over the old paint. If the old antifouling is unknown, you can apply Primoconฎ primer directly over the old paint and then simply overcoat with the Interluxฎ antifouling of choice (do not use this system with VCฎ 17m Extra, VCฎ 17m, or VCฎ Offshore.)

    3. Remove the old antifouling.If the old antifouling is in poor condition you may prefer to remove the old paint and start with a fresh surface. Use a chemical stripper like InterluxTM Interstrip 299E. Interstrip can remove several coats of most antifouling paints in one application. After stripping, you are ready to prime and paint.

  2. What is the best Interlux®VARNISH for interior and exterior wood?

    Interlux® has several varnishes to meet your needs. Exterior high gloss varnishes with excellent ultra-violet protection include:

    Goldspar — a one-part polyurethane varnish with incredible abrasion, chemical and water resistance.

    Perfection Varnish — a two-part polyurethane designed to be an extremely durable clear coating for wood and epoxy surfaces.

    Schooner® Varnish — a traditional easy to use tung-oil varnish with a classic look.

    Goldspar Satin — has been designed for interior surfaces. It is a low sheen polyurethane varnish producing a flexible but very hardwearing surface that is resistant to scratching and abrasion.

    SO… if you have an area to varnish that gets a lot of abrasion use Goldspar or Perfection. If you are varnishing over a clear epoxy such as Epiglass® use Perfection and if you want that beautiful traditional look of varnish use Schooner®.

  3. How do I apply a non-skid deck finish?

    Interlux® offers three solutions for re-finishing a non-slip deck:

    1. Stir and Apply Interdeck — This ready to use, skid resistant, low gloss, single-component finish that can be applied over bare fiberglass or any other substrate, over an Interlux topside primer.
    2. Mix your own non-skid finish — Any Interlux topside finish (including Interthane Plus) can be transformed into a non-skid deck finish by adding Interlux Intergrip Polymeric No-Skid Additive. This additive consists of man-made plastic spheres, which are regular in shape. They have a low-tendency to collect dirt, and excellent non-skid properties. Apply two coats of paint with Intergrip Polymeric No-Skid Additive mixed in. Intergrip comes in regular and extra course.
    3. Hand Broadcasting Method — Roll on a coat of Interthane Plus, Brightside® or Toplac and while still wet, sprinkle the Intergrip as required to obtain the texture of your choice. It is best to put the Intergrip in a flour sifter or saltshaker to dispense the compound. Avoid heavy application, which will not assist in providing a more slip resistant surface. After the pain has been allowed to dry overnight, remove the excess Intergrip and apply the second coat of finish.

  4. What is Osmosis?

    Osmosis is a process of degeneration within a fiberglass laminate. It is caused by a chemical reaction between water and unreacted substances remaining in the manufactured hull. The water enters the hull through the gelcoat and once inside, reacts with the chemical components creating acidic substances. These substances create pressure behind the gelcoat, which causes blisters and eventually cracking. Once the gelcoat is breached in this manner, the underlying laminate is capable of absorbing water like a sponge.
