Cukote Bottom Paint has a high load of cuprous oxide that makes this formula a top performer even in the most severe fouling areas. Due to its ablative and self-polishing nature, there is no buildup of bottom paint over time. The underwater surface of your hull remains clean and smooth, making this an ideal bottom paint for fast moving vessels. The copolymer in Cukote can withstand removal from water without affecting its antifouling properties. Sea Hawk's Cukote is the premium self-polishing antifouling paint that has established the standard in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-Hard, self-polishing ablative finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-season performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving boat from water does not affect antifouling properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective below the waterline on fiberglass, steel, and wood vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo TBT (organotin compounds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e47.5% Cuprous oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eSemi-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCopper Content: \u003c\/strong\u003e47.57%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVOC: \u003c\/strong\u003e398 grams\/liter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage: \u003c\/strong\u003e346 sq. ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Coats: \u003c\/strong\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors Available: \u003c\/strong\u003e3445-Black, 3441-Red, 3442-Blue, 3434-Teal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 US Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"classyunicodedone\"\u003eHow to Apply Sea Hawk Cukote Bottom Paint\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea Hawk Cukote Bottom Paint is easily applied by brush, roller, or spray. When rolling, use only a high-quality short nap 3\/8” roller cover. Apply using thin coats. For the smoothest possible finish, thin the paint approximately 10% using water. Cukote has a tendency for settling to occur, especially if the paint has been on the shelf for several months. Thoroughly mix the paint before using. Before using, check the sides and bottom of the can to make sure all the pigment has been mixed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSemi-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e  320 Sq Ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBursh, Rolling, Airless Sprayer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Roller Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3\/8” Nap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Coats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet Film Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5.0 mils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Film Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2.2 mils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e50° F Min\/ 95° F Max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinner:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMaximum 10% Sea Hawk 2031 Reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Times\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/caption\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate Temp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eTouch Dry\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Overcoat Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Launch Time\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  73°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  1 hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  95°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  1 hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  1 hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e  12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurface Preparation and Application\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreviously Painted Surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown Compatibility of existing antifoulant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower wash to remove any loose paint or other contaminants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScuff sand with 80 grit sandpaper, remove all residue and let dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply minimum 2 coats of Cukote.
