267.0. "Micron33 touch up?" by GRAMPS::WCLARK (Walt Clark) Mon Mar 24 1986 17:01

    Has anyone experienced problems or have any hints for success
    with overcoating and/or touching up the copolymers like Micron33 ?
    
    I have some rubs on an otherwise sound bottom that need a couple
    touchup coats in places.   I asked the International folks who
    recommended I wash down the bottom with a solvent like Fiberglass
    Wash and do the whole bottom - in otherwords buy a gallon instead
    of a quart.

    I have used Micron33 for 3 years. I have never had a problem with
    overcoating. Wash the surface with water to remove dirt. If you
    use a solvent, you'll remove the paint and have to redo the bottom.
    I suppose if I was selling bottom paints, I would recommend redoing
    the bottom.

    Thanks for the reassurance.  I finally decided to wipe over the
    areas needing repainting with 202 solvent wash (very lightly as
    it turned out) and go for about 3 coats in the areas that needed
    touchup due to scratches and wear.  That took less than a quart.
    
    The boat has been in for 2 weeks now, we shall see how well it does.
