For subsequent coats, thinning is generally not recommended except to aid application in extreme conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean my equipment after painting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Use Special Thinner 216 as an equipment cleaner.

Over-thinning can reduce the applied thickness, so thinner should only be added when needed to aid application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should paint dry before launching the boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow the overcoating and immersion times on the paint label carefully. Water is an aggressive environment, so allow the paint to dry thoroughly before launch to avoid detachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes thinning affect overcoating and immersion times?\u003c\/strong\u003e You should always follow the overcoating and immersion times specified for your antifouling paint.
