Limitations of Use:

• NOT suitable for aluminium hulls and outdrives
• Some colour variation between batches and during storage may occur. If material from different batches is used, it is highly recommended to thoroughly “box” the various batches to achieve a consistent colour. Actual colour is developed over when the film begins to ablate during service.

Note: Because ablative antifoulings work by slowly wearing away to expose fresh biocides, the amount of product applied has a direct bearing on system life. One coat - per recommended spreading rate (see below) is designed to provide up to 12 months protection in average conditions, with average frequency of use.
