Application Guidance
When painting aluminum, Trilux 33 is applied directly as the antifouling finish. For bare underwater metals such as bronze and stainless steel shafts, struts, props, trim tabs and thru-hull fittings, bring the metal to a uniform bright finish by sandblasting with non-ferrous media such as clean silica sand, or grind using coarse to medium emery cloth, then remove all residue and degrease the surface before priming and coating. Apply 2 to 3 coats for best protection, following the dry times on the label.
