Sigmacover 525 tie coat application

What started out for me as a very large problem became a walk in the park when a proffesional team was assigned to me for the day,the idea was to get UHP water blasting known about In Hout Bay,for which CKD Boats are now your contact agents but the company who do this work can and do travel country wide,in fact the entire southern africa,so if you need a quality job please contact me at roy@ckdboats.com or Cape Town phone number 021 510-7206 for more information.

Sigmacover 525 tie coat can be overcoated in twelve hours up to a maximum of fourteen days,it has properties that bond with the next coat,which in my case was to be antifoul.

With a second coat applied we have the perfect finish,in twelve hours we can apply the antifouls.

The first coat will not give a full cover,the second coat does that with ease.


Using a fine mo-hair roller I applied the first coat of Sigmacover 525,its really important to get a 100% cover,no pin holes,nothing is allowed.

The suppliers of the paint told me that even after a 12 hour period had elapsed,even fresh paint needs a good hand wash with soapy water to remove 'contaminates' or airbourne dust and salts that may have blown in,we used a small amount of Teepol in fresh water,do not use washing up liquid,its additives could cause bother themselves.When washd,hose off ,then allow to dry fully before continuing the paint process.

At this stage we (me) have applied two full coats of Sigma etch primer,the cure period is a full 12 hours,so in my case the next day before overcoating with Sigmacover 525 tie coat was possible.
