Pettit Epoxy Thinner, Quart - Part 11209708 for Pettit Protect Two-Part Epoxy Systems
Pettit Epoxy Thinner, Quart - Part 11209708 for Pettit Protect Two-Part Epoxy Systems
Pettit Epoxy Thinner (Part 11209708) is a quart-size thinner formulated for use within the Pettit two-part epoxy coating system, including Pettit Protect topcoat, Pettit 6455/044 Metal Primer, Pettit 6980 Rustlok Steel Primer, and Pettit 7050 EZ-Fair Epoxy Fairing Compound. It is intended for boat owners and professional applicators preparing and recoating keels and hulls with Pettit's epoxy products, helping maintain proper application consistency across primer, fairing, and topcoat stages.
The Pettit epoxy system this thinner supports covers multiple substrates. On lead keels, the surface is disc sanded or abraded to bright metal, coated with one thin coat of 6455/044 Metal Primer, allowed to dry eight hours, then topcoated with Pettit Protect; if fairing is needed, Pettit 7050 EZ-Fair Epoxy Fairing Compound is applied, sanded with 80 grit sandpaper, and followed by two additional coats of Pettit Protect. On steel or cast iron keels, the surface is abraded to bright metal, coated with one coat of 6980 Rustlok Steel Primer (recoat window of only 1/2 to 2 hours), then topcoated with Pettit Protect, with the same EZ-Fair and finish-coat sequence if fairing is required. Pettit Protect can also be applied over existing two-part epoxy finishes in sound condition after brush-off sandblasting or heavy 60 grit sanding, followed by three coats of Pettit Protect. This quart of thinner supports those application steps within the Pettit epoxy system.
