Considerations:
- Due to the photoactive nature of ePaint SN-1 HP, additional coats around the waterline are strongly recommended to extend service life.
- SN-1 HP is thermo-plastic by nature and hot temperatures above 90 deg. F can soften SN-1 HP slightly, particularly on aluminum boats in full sun, which can cause paint to dig into pads and straps.
- If SN-1 is to be launched in hot climates, consider launching boat in the morning before full sun and temperatures climb. Place plastic sheeting between pads and straps before lifting. The thermo-plastic nature of SN-1 HP has no effect on antifouling performance and paint will immediately harden when placed into service of cooler waters.
