    questions Steve Tibbetts on 2023-01-11 17:59:10
    Question: 

    Hello, I am planning on applying (by roller) your marine primer undercoat soon to my GRP / Paint boat. I will have abraded cleaned etc the surface. I am likely to be applying the primer undercoat at around 9 degree C; with a plan to overcoat with two coats of marine gloss up to 5 weeks later at temperatures over 12 degrees C. Boat is outdoors. Do you see any flaws with this plan? Regards Steve, North Wales

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    This product is dry to recoat or over paint in 12 hours or overnight at 20°C and fully cured in 3 to 5 days.

    With the boat being left outdoors it would be better to apply the marine undercoat 12 to 24 hours prior to application of the Teamac Marine Gloss rather than leaving it exposed to weather.

    Also if the marine undercoat is full cured it will require sanding prior to application of a paint.

    Question: 

    I am going to repaint my narrowboat. I have some rust spots which I am going to use Teamac Rust Converter. Can I just use Teamac Marine Undercoat or should I use Teamac red oxide first then undercoat then top coats? Many thanks

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    Assuming the painting is to be done above the waterline we'd recommend applying Teamac Red Oxide over any bare metal areas or areas treated with Rust Converter. The whole surface (above the waterline) should then be undercoated with Teamac Marine Undercoat and finally 2 coats of Teamac Marine Gloss should be applied.

    questions lee on 2018-01-29 12:33:25
    Question: 

    Is Teamac Marine Gloss OK for salt water & is the Teamac Marine Undercoat fine under the water line?

    Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

    Teamac Marine Gloss and Undercoat have good resistance to salt water but should not be used for constant immersion below the waterline. They are suitable for boats that are generally berthed on land. Below the waterline, for boats in the water most of the time our recommendation is Teamac Metaclor Underwater CR Primer and Teamac Chlorvar Chlorinated Rubber Paint, both of which have excellent water resistance.
