Danboline bilge paint

[Vara]

The instructions give very specific temperature related time scales for over coating.



What would be the consequences of leaving longer times between coats?

Not a problem, I have used this for many years and have had no problems applying in all temperatures buf takes longer to dry when cold. No problem in overcoating either.

Poor adhesion to the underlying coat probably unless its lightly abraded to form a key , as is described for application to a previously painted surface

Thanks both, so a a quick waft over with 240 grit should sort it! Mind you from distant memory of using it I may not need a second coat.

+1

also the longer time because it's cold.
Always had great results from Danboline, as applied to my own fine craft.

I would stick with Internationals recommendation :

PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES
In Good Condition Wash down with Super Cleaner, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry. Abrade with 180-280
grade paper

He does not want to remove half the paint he as already applied, just key the surface!

Just by chance I have 220 grit paper, so that's what I'll use, if a second coat is required.

I gave the whole area a sand down with 'medium' sandpaper and a good wash down with grease remover (stinky stuff) for pre-painting just in case and it stuck (even in December) like, erm, it always has before. Lovely stuff Danboline.

you are applying protective bilge paint not, not the final topsides gloss coat. you need to abrade the substrata to get a key,220 is too fine
