Antifouling first time
Hello fellow TFers!
Next spring will be my first time to redo my (well my boat) antifoulling as after 2 years (or more) it starts to show some sign of wear.
So of course I am questioning myself about the perfect way to do it.
First I will sand the whole hull (under water part) to bare fiberglass to remove the old layer. I noticed that in some part the paint was not perfectly done and was chipped by the water pressure cleanup.
Now the questions.
Should I go with:
1. multi coats of antifouling right after sanding.
2. primer than antifouling
3. some kind of water barrier than primer and antifouling
I just would like to start it right so I can later and some antifouling layer when needed in following years.
Note: I am in fresh water river with not much fouling but some algae growth on the hull. No barnacle up here, some zebra mussels growth but for the last 2 yea it was not terrible.
Thanks for your input.
