Micron CSC is a great multi-season ablative bottom paint with a copper-copolymer formula that provides controlled release of antifouling biocides at the paint surface.
Drying times depend on ambient temperatures, but ranges between 1-2 hours for touch dry and 16 hours for immersion. At least 2 coats recommended for proper application on bare fiberglass, bare wood, steel, and previously painted surfaces in good condition.
The longevity of the coating depends on the amount of paint applied. CSC antifouling paint retains its effectiveness even when the boat is removed from the water for extended periods (winter storage, for example). To reactivate come springtime, use a stiff brush or power wash lightly. Suitable for sailboats and power boats.
Available in Black, Blue, Green, Red, and Shark White colors in Quart and Gallon sizes. Dark Blue is available in Gallon size only.

APPLICATION AND USE
Preparation:
PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES : In Good Condition: Remove loose paint by sanding with 80 grade (grit) paper, wipe with Special Thinner 216. In Poor Condition: Remove antifouling paint in poor condition with Interstrip Semi-Paste 299E.
BARE FIBERGLASS : Begin by scrubbing well using soap and water and a stiff brush. Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Wipe a small area with a clean rag that has been wetted with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. While the surface is still wet, wipe with a clean, dry rag. Continue this process until the entire surface has been cleaned. Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Remove sanding residue. Wipe with Fiberglass Solvent Wash 202. If primer is needed, sand and apply Primocon YPA984.
BARE WOOD : Sand with 80 grade (grit) paper. Wipe with Brush-Ease 433. Apply first coat reduced 10% with Special Thinner 216. Fill seams, if necessary, with Seam Compound Brown 30.
