Preparation
Be certain to cover any area not being stripped with a plastic drop cloth and masking tape. (Take extra precautions when spraying to control overspray from getting on adjoining surfaces.) IMPORTANT: To determine acceptability, before using Sea Hawk Marine Paint Stripper, be certain to do a TEST PATCH AREA of the surface to be stripped. Apply Sea Hawk Marine Paint Stripper with a brush at 3 different thicknesses between 15 and 30 mils. Periodically test these areas for the correct dwell time for removal over a 1/2 to 6-hour period and longer if very heavily coated. The more coats of paint the longer it will need to dwell. Sea Hawk Marine Paint Stripper will stay wet and active during the entire test period. Some coatings, like moisture cures and two-part urethanes, will take longer to thoroughly soften. Sea Hawk Marine Paint Stripper will stay wet and active for 24 hours or more.

Coverage: Min. 50 to 75 square feet per gallon at 30 mils (approx. 1/32") thickness. When applied in thinner coats (at 10 to 15 mils) it works faster and covers 100 to 125 square feet per gallon.

Note
When epoxy barrier coats or primers are present (and are not to be removed) be certain to remove the paint stripper as soon as it has penetrated all the antifouling layers. Test the area (as stated on front) to determine how much time should be allowed for this process. Gel coat and fiberglass surfaces that exhibit excessive wear or have deteriorated should be tested for suitability before thorough application of product.
