Before any project, take these things into account to get the best results:
Although every effort has been made to ensure the colors on screen are as close as possible to actual paint colors, we cannot guarantee an exact color match. Paint swatch colors will vary depending on your screen settings and resolution. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for slight variations.

Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Ensure that you read and follow all label instructions and the safety datasheet before starting your project.
Also:
Ensure the area you are working in is properly ventilated.
Ensure all products are kept out of reach of children during storage and usage.
Ensure solvent fumes and any splashing of material will not affect others nearby.
Before you begin, always refer to the label and safety datasheet for product specific information.
Using the right PPE for your project is important to ensure your safety. You should always check the information from the PPE manufacturer to ensure you use the correct items for your working conditions.
Wear safety glasses at all times to protect your eyes from splashes.
Chemicals can cause skin irritation. Wear overalls and protective gloves to protect your skin and clothing.
To avoid inhalation of dust while sanding; wear a dust mask at all times.
Many products contain either solvents or other chemicals that can build up in confined areas creating a hazard and/or an unpleasant working environment. Wear suitable respiratory protection if ventilation is not sufficient or if required by the safety datasheet to do so.
See the protective equipment overview for further information.
We care deeply about the environment and we want to ensure that our products are disposed of in the correct way. With that in mind, please:

If you’re doing repair work, carefully inspect for any damage including fine cracks and any material that’s poorly adhered. Small repairs and filling on new boats can be easily tackled. However, any work that’s over a larger area or might affect the structure or hull integrity, should be referred to a professional for proper assessment.
It's recommended to apply a layer of primer before application of filler. Please see step relating to the application of primer.
Important note relating to filling and fairing: If you are intending to carry out any filling and/or fairing work please read the following note very carefully.
On all bare substrates a coat of primer MUST be applied before proceeding with any filling and/or fairing. Once this work has been completed then the second and subsequent coats of primer should be applied before proceeding with application of the rest of the chosen above or below waterline system.

Priming is a vital part of the painting process as it’s the base on which the rest of the system will be applied. If the base isn’t good and sound, then the overall system won’t be either.
