Prep for bottom paint on Hypalon?

[BarryK3]

Hi all,

I'm getting ready to paint the bottom of the tubes with Total Boat ablative antifouling paint for inflatables. The directions say to lightly scrub the Hypalon with epoxy thinner using a bronze wool pad before painting. Any idea what grade of pad (fine, medium, coarse)?

Thanks,
Barry

Medium would be fine. It is just so the paint have a course surface to stick on to.

Thank you!

I would be interested in hearing how well it works. I have been looking for a good antifoul solution for my tubes for a while.

I’ll start painting in about a week. I’ll let you know how the Total Boat brand works out.
