GENERAL DESCRIPTION Originally developed for wooden boats, these old-time favorites may also be applied to properly prepared fiberglass, metal and over existing enamels. They are well known for their exceptionally easy, forgiving application, superb covering properties, good gloss, seasonal durability, Not recommended for constant immersion. APPLICATION INFORMATION Stir thoroughly before use. Shipendec may be applied by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray. For brush or roller application apply without thinning although in hot weather 5-10% Pettit 120 Brushing Thinner may be added to maintain a wet edge. For best results on large, smooth surfaces roll out using a short nap roller followed immedi- ately by leveling off with the tip of a brush. For conventional spray application thin 15-20% with Pettit 121 Spraying Thinner. Apply one, thin even coat per day. After an overnight dry, lightly sand with 220 grit sandpaper and apply a second coat. Always wipe with a tack cloth immediately before the fresh application of paint to remove any air- borne dust which may have settled. Applying two or more coats in one day or applying excessively heavy films (greater than 4 wet mils) will lead to insufficient through drying of the paint and will yield soft paint films. For airless spray application thin up to 5% with Pettit 121 Spray- ing Thinner. Utilize a .011-.015 inch diameter tip for application. Do not apply Shipendec on extremely humid days (90°+ RH) or when rain is threatening. Do not apply in the late afternoon when working outdoors as the wet film may be adversely affected by dew. When working in cooler temperatures be sure the air and surface tempera- tures will remain at or above 50°F for at least 8 hours after application.
