Pettit Trinidad 75 Blue Hard Bottom Antifouling Paint, 1107406FD
Pettit Trinidad 75 Blue Hard Bottom Antifouling Paint, 1107406FD
Pettit Trinidad 75 in Blue (part number 1107406FD) is a hard bottom antifouling paint formulated to protect hulls from marine fouling. As a hard bottom finish, it builds a durable, burnishable film rather than the soft, ablative surface used by self-polishing bottom paints, making it a common choice for boats that are hauled and relaunched frequently, trailered, or scrubbed periodically to keep the finish smooth and fast.
Proper surface preparation is essential to long-term performance. Before applying Trinidad 75, all existing antifouling paint or coating must be completely removed, and the hull should be cleaned and prepped thoroughly. Any blisters must be punctured and any bad gelcoat or laminate ground out, the surface rinsed with fresh water to remove water-soluble contaminants leaching from blistered areas, and allowed to dry. Hull moisture should be checked with a moisture meter, taking multiple readings above and below the waterline, with application proceeding only once the hull has reached maximum achievable dryness (moisture meter readings around 2 to 3 percent).
Trinidad 75 Blue is sold and shipped as a 19.4 pound unit, reflecting the weight of the paint itself.
