Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does marine paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary depending on the type of paint, environmental conditions, and the thickness of the applied coat. Typically, marine paint may take a few hours to dry to touch, but it may take several days for a full cure. Refer to the paint manufacturer's guidelines for specific drying times.
2. Can I apply antifouling paint over old antifouling paint?
In most cases, yes, antifouling paint can be applied over old antifouling paint. However, proper surface preparation is essential to ensure good adhesion. It's recommended to consult the paint manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance.
