Skip Sand Primer 6998 - 1

6998 SKIP SAND PRIMER TB434 8/05 • • • Eliminates the need to sand before applying antifouling paint. Recommended over vinyl ester and other blister resistant gelcoats where sanding is forbidden. Improved recoatability versus other no-sand primers. PHYSICAL DATA VEHICLE TYPE….Phenoxy-amine-silane FINISH…..Eggshell COLOR…..Green/Silver COMPONENTS…..One CURING MECHANISM…..Self Catalyzed Cure GENERAL DESCRIPTION Pettit 6998 Skip Sand Primer is a pre-treatment primer designed to adhere tenaciously to unsanded fiberglass gelcoat. When properly topcoated with antifouling paint, the primer and antifouling will bond together strongly, resulting in a finish with excellent overall adhesion. Pettit 6998 Skip Sand Primer is ideal over vinyl ester gelcoats, where sanding of the gelcoat may void osmotic blister warranties. It may be used over conventional gelcoats as well, and as a tie-coat between two-part epoxy primers and antifouling paints. APPLICATION INFORMATION Shake or stir the Pettit 6998 Skip Sand Primer thoroughly. Apply one thin, continuous coat by brush, short nap roller or spray. Thinning is not normally required except for spraying or when brushing or rolling in hot weather. Use 5-10% Pettit 97 Epoxy Thinner in these instances. Monitor the drying of the Skid Sand Primer carefully. Read and understand the application and topcoating instructions on the reverse side carefully before applying the Skip Sand Primer. SURFACE PREPARATION Surface preparation in a no-sand antifouling system is of critical importance. All surfaces to be painted, regardless of age, should be scrubbed with detergent and water and then rinsed thoroughly. Allow to dry and then dewax thoroughly with Pettit 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer. Vinyl Ester gelcoats or resins should be dewaxed at least three times prior to applying Skip Sand Primer. All surfaces should be completely free of all wax, mold release agents, and other contaminants. Failure to properly prepare the surface will result in flaking and peeling of the primer and/or antifouling paint.
