Instructions for use 

Hard Racing Xtra antifouling is easy to apply with a brush, roller or paint pad. The minimum processing temperature is 5°C. Avoid working in direct sunlight.

• Always ensure that the surface is lightly sanded, clean, grease-free and dry before applying the Hempel antifouling.
• Ensure that the surface has been properly prepared for the antifouling to function optimally. Treat untreated surfaces with Hempel Underwater Primer. Do the same if the old antifouling is in poor condition.
• Stir the contents well to obtain an attractive colour. The product contains heavy particles.
• Apply 1 coat of Hempel Hard Racing Xtra with a dry film thickness of 40 µm. If necessary, add up to 5% thinner to aid application. 
• Apply an extra layer around the waterline and on wear-sensitive areas. After approximately 4 hours (at 20°C) the antifouling is hand dry and ready for painting.
• After approximately 24 hours up to a maximum of 6 months you can put the boat in the water.
