Before You Start‘Step-by-Step’ Project GuidesHealth & safetyHow to prepare bare substrates Personal healthAvoid ingestionFood and drink should not be prepared or consumedin areas where paint is stored or used. In cases ofaccidental paint ingestion seek immediate medicalattention. Keep the patient at rest, do NOTinduce vomiting.Avoid inhalationBreathing solvent fumes can make you dizzyand could result in collapse.The inhalation of solvent vapor from paint orsanding dust, can be reduced with adequateventilation or extraction but may not be sufficient,suitable respiratory protection should always beused. In badly ventilated areas wear an air-fedhood or cartridge respirator with an organic vaporfilter. Wear a cartridge type respirator whenabrading old antifoulings – never burn off ordry-sand antifoulings as this may create harmfulfumes or dust. Spray painting creates additionalhealth hazards and respiratory protection shouldalways be used. Air-fed hoods provide the bestprotection but read the label carefully and ensurerecommended protection is worn. Do not smokeStore paint in a well-ventilated, dry placeaway from sources of heat and direct sunlightKeep the tin tightly closedAvoid sparks from metals, electrical appliances beingswitched on and off, or faulty electrical connectionsDo not leave paint soaked rags lying around,in the pockets of overalls or in waste bins. Sometypes of paint can dry out and auto-ignite.Avoid eye contactEye protection should be used during paintapplication and when there is any risk of paintsplashing on the face. Safety glasses that complywith ANSIZ871-1989 Standard are inexpensive, easilyavailable and are well worth wearing. If material doescontaminate the eye, flush the eye with clean freshwater for at least 15 minutes, holding the eyelidsapart, and seek medical attention.Avoid skin contactTo avoid skin irritation always wear protectivegloves and clothing to cover the body and a barriertype skin cream to cover the face. Do NOT usepetroleum jelly as this can help the absorption ofpaint into the body. Remove rings and watches thatcan trap paint particles next to the skin. Removepaint that does get on skin with warm water andsoap or an approved skin cleanser. Never usesolvent to clean the skin.

‘Step-by-Step’ Project GuidesBoat Paint GuideAlways check the weather! 18Dew point is important when applying paint toa surface, as the evaporation of the solvent fromthe paint draws heat and/or energy from thatsurface, cooling it down. If conditions are rightcondensation may form on the surface of thepaint resulting in various problems.Relative humidity is important as air can onlyhold so much water or solvent vapor at any onetime. So, as the relative humidity increases, thelevel of solvent vapor the air can hold reduces,meaning paint will effectively dry more slowly. Air and substrate temperature will affect thedrying properties of any paint. Failing to observethe recommended drying times can result incoating failure, including improper drying,wrinkling and loss of adhesion.Always avoid extreme air or temperatureconditions; Interlux products are tested acrossa range of temperatures, to ascertain the dryingtimes and application characteristics of eachproduct. Drying time recommendations areprovided on our products labels; furtherinformation relating to weather considerationscan be found on our product data sheets,available on our web site.Low temperatures will increase drying times;always check the ‘through-dry’ of each interimcoat, before sanding or overcoating.Sanding too early can cause the paint towrinkle under the sand paper, in some caseseven tearing or gouging into the paint filmmaking refurbishment difficult. Sanding beforethe paint film is ‘through-dry’ can also clog thesand paper, meaning more sheets are neededto complete the task. Overcoating too early can cause wrinkling,blistering and loss of gloss in the finishedpaint job.High temperatures will reduce drying times,but can make application more difficult, asproduct flow and leveling can be compromised –particularly when applying finishes or varnishes.Where appropriate, thinning recommendationsto help with higher temperature application areprovided on labels and data sheet. When applying two-part products in highertemperatures the pot life of the product will alsobe affected, reducing your work time window. Do not paint in direct sunlight, or when thesubstrate itself is excessively warm, as theresidual heat of the substrate can adverselyaffect the application and drying properties ofany paint product; this can result in poor flowand leveling, rapid drying, cracking and loss ofgloss. Surface temperature can be measuredusing a surface thermometer.Technical Service Helpline: 1 800 468-7589 Open Monday to Friday, 9am-4pm Eastern timeDry, well ventilated conditions are preferablewhen applying finishes or varnishes. While gentleair movement will assist the drying process,a dust-free environment is critical to achievinga good quality gloss finish; always avoid paintingin windy conditions.Choosing a faster drying product or system,where available, will help to minimize the windowfor dust contamination. The effects of dust contamination may be furtherreduced by sanding lightly between each coat,removing residual dust by wiping down with asuitable solvent and allowing to dry beforeapplying the next coat. This will also helpimprove the initial aesthetics.Avoid applying two-part finishes or varnisheslate in the afternoon or when relative humidityexceeds 80% as these products are particularlysensitive to moisture. Condensation duringapplication or due to overnight ambienttemperature changes can affect the chemicalcure of these products resulting in loss of gloss.When painting orvarnishing woodavoid applying if theambient temperatureis increasing (orpredicted to increase)significantly.
