Oopsie - Antifoul surplus to requirements

[Tradewinds]

Posted on the Jotun AF thread but it has become submerged - so starting a new post.



Bought 2 x 5l of SeaQueen Black this week.

Was going to store unopened onboard to apply c2015/16 in some foreign land far, far away .

I see it has a 'shelf-life' of only 6 months & the official 'use by' date on the tins is 17/4/14.

Of course, it may be OK in 18-24 months time, it may not.

I really don't want to carry it round (& apply it) if there's a chance it will be no good.

See post #8

So does any East coaster want to take this off my hands (I assume that you will be a professional user & take all the necessary H&S precautions) :encouragement: .

£90 per 5l can or £175 for 2.

Pick up IP17 or SYH (would meet at Fox's as well, or places between).

PM me if interested

I am interested, we have used Inter Micron Extra so my Q is do we have to prime over first or can I apply over the existing? Perhaps the data sheet with your tins may offer guidance? I have seen a Jotun kit which seems to me to suggest priming is necessary.
Thanks Ben

Hi Ben,

Data sheet can be downloaded here:

I never had a problem overcoating Seajet Shogun033 with SeaGuardian which was subsequently overcoated with SeaQueen this year.

HTH

Still for sale.

I'm just wondering about the use by dates on this sort of stuff , does it really "go off" if not used by said date and be no use if applied say 6 months after ? Or is just a way of stopping people buying a lot at a knockdown price and holding on to it for 5 or 6 years ? ......

Don't know.

Looked at a tin of International AF in the chandlers and the expiry date was 2021!

Belay that

Told that it will be fine for at least 2 years in the unopened can.

So - no longer have a problem. :encouragement:
