Before any project, take these things into account to get the best results:
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:
For more information or any special waste regulations, please contact your local waste regulation authority.

If the new antifouling is compatible with the existing one, you can normally apply it directly on top of the old one without sanding. If this is the case, please go straight to application of antifouling after following the washing / cleaning procedure. However, if the existing antifouling is not compatible with the new one, you will need to apply a barrier primer after a light wet sand.
Please be aware that antifouling must only be wet sanded to minimise exposure to biocides.
If high pressure water washing is not possible/available.
