Q: null Hello I have a 41 Hunter DS and will use the Total Boat Krypton Ablative anti-fouling hull Paint in Blue. I thinking 2 gallons should do it. I am not sure which Anti fouling Ablative Hull paint was used by the previous owner. But from the appearances it looks worn out with bare patches and looks like it was an Ablative Hull paint in Black I am also asking what prep work would you recommend before I apply this paint? I sail out of Safe Harbor Cowesett RI and would like to pick this up your shop. Is that possible? Thank You.

A: Since the previous paint is an unknown, sand it well with 80 grit. 1 gallon will cover 100 square feet with one coat. Bare patches should have at least two coats of paint. Pick up at our facility is not possible, However, shipping is free and it typically only takes a day to ship the paint anywhere in New England. There is $4.99 hazmat fee.

Q: null Besides using this on the hull which I currently do, Can this be used on the outdrive and ss. Trim tabs ?

A: Hey there. Yes, Krypton can be used on outdrives and other underwater metal parts, but it must be primed first with an epoxy primer. We recommend Aluminum Boat Barrier Coat for this.

Q: null Will Krypton last more than 1 year in brackish water?
a year ago1 Answer
A: It's hard to say. Whether it's brackish or salt really makes no difference in longevity. Since it's an ablative paint it really depends on how much water flows across the hull. The more you use it the faster it will wear off. I have heard of people getting more than a season out of single-season paints but you are generally better off recoating it annually.

Q: null can you apply krypton bottom paint over freshly painted micron csc copper bottom paint
a year ago1 Answer
A: Hey Michael. To apply Krypton over Micron CSC, make sure that the Micron CSC has been cured for at least 7 days. Sand with 80-grit sandpaper, then wipe the surface clean with clean cotton rags dampened with TotalBoat Special Brushing Thinner 100 or TotalBoat Dewaxer & Surface Prep, changing rags frequently, as needed, before applying Krypton antifouling paint.

Q: null Can TotalBoat Krypton be used on bronze propellers and stainless shafts that are have been coated with Pettit Prop Coat Barnacle Barrier
2 years ago1 Answer
A: Yes they can but if you look around the boat yard you won't see many props with paint on them. The cavitation tends to wear the paint off.
