FEYNLAB MARINE COAT

Prepping the Gel Coat Surface

Thoroughly clean the vessel’s surface using FEYNLAB® MARINE WASH or ECOWASH.  Follow with a topical decontamination clay treatment using FEYNLAB® PRIME.

Polish all surfaces to be coated by applying 4 dots of FEYNLAB® MARINE COAT 1 – RESIN COMPOUND to your polishing pad to prime.  Polish area to be treated with MARINE COAT 1 and wipe clear with Microfiber towel.    If major correction is needed, use FEYNLAB 

Directions

Prior to application, place vessel in a well-lit area, preferably in a temperature controlled, contaminate free environment. Have plenty of microfiber towels and 2-4 applicators on hand before application.

It is recommended that you tape / mask off any areas not approved for application of FEYNLAB® MARINE COAT 2 –   PROTECTIVE COATING.

Shake the bottle for 2 minutes before use. Open the bottle slowly to release any pressure that might have occurred.

Apply enough MARINE COAT 2 to the microfiber sponge to cover your intended area. If working in a shaded, temperature-controlled environment, you should be able to cover the sides of a 15-30ft center console before the coating sets up beyond the point of being able to wipe the surface clear. If working outdoors in direct sunlight, application sections will need to be substantially decreased.

Starting with the middle of the section you intend to coat, drag coating out making an “X” or “+” sign and then continue to apply coating first in a circular pattern fully covering the intended area. After complete coverage in circles, finish in straight lines with little to no pressure to ensure even coverage and consistent drying times.

Swipe test after your section to make sure the coating is not setup yet, if still wet continue down the rest of half of the boat or possibly the full side. Once you coat either half the side or the full side (depending on your current conditions) gently wipe the surface clear with a clean microfiber towel.

Ensure you have plenty of clean microfiber towels for wiping the surface clear.  As the towel becomes contaminated, its effectiveness substantially decreases.  Trade out to a clean towel as often as necessary.

Final Inspection

Be sure to carefully inspect all finished panels for any leftover coating residue (high spots) during the final wipe.  Pay close attention to edges, emblems, and other tight areas that tend to be missed.  High spots are much easier to remove if caught within a 20-40 minute window after the final wipe, rather than later, when the coating has set and curing has started.

Curing

Allow boat to sit in the sun as long as possible before it leaves your work area.  Do not allow boat to enter water for a minimum recommended time of 48 hours.  Avoid chemical exposure for 7 days.  Wash and maintain vessel using FEYNLAB MARINE WASH or FEYNLAB MARINE ECO-WASH.
