This is the appropriate epoxy to use when aluminum has been sandblasted, sanded or ground so that a tooth is present. For smooth aluminum, choose Pettit Metal Primer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlumaProtect provides maximum resistance to fresh or salt water, thus eliminating corrosion. This complete coating system resists water, industrial chemical fumes, and very humid environments. Intended to be used as a primary coat over bare aluminum hulls and outdrives.

Brush-off sandblasting or very heavy sanding with 60 grit sandpaper is required to maintain maximum adhesion. Then apply one or two coats 4400\/4401 per instructions. Remember, coating performance is only as good as the surface to which it’s applied. All existing two package epoxy fi nishes in poor condition, as well as all one package primers and bottom paints, should be removed completely and the appropriate bare aluminum system as described above should be followed before using Aluma Protect Aluminum Epoxy Primer 4400\/4401.

Mix the two components together in the ratio of 1 part of Component A to 1 part of Component B by volume. Allow to stand 15 minutes at approximately 70° before using. (Allow to stand at least 30 minutes if temperature is between 50° and 65°F) May be applied by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray. Thinning is not normally required for application, however, small amounts of 97 Epoxy Thinner may be used if necessary to facilitate application. Wet fi lm thickness should be 3.6 mils per coat, which yields 1.0 mil dry fi lm thickness. A wet fi lm thickness gauge should be used to monitor paint application. One or two coats of Aluma Protect 4400\/4401 should be overcoated with Pettit Protect 4700\/4701 to provide a corrosion and chemical resistant barrier for use on all aluminum craft and surfaces. Coating performance, in general, is proportional to the degree of surface preparation. Follow recommendations carefully, avoiding shortcuts. Inadequate preparation of surfaces will virtually assure inadequate coating performance. Degrease aluminum by wiping with 97 Epoxy Thinner. Sandblast, sand or grind the surface to achieve a good adhesion profi le.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Application Sheet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pettitpaint.com\/fileshare\/product_pds\/underwatermetalsalumaprotect.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePettit Technical Bulletin  Underwater Metal Systems  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to Apply PDF\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wholesalemarine.com\/content\/PDFs\/How_to_Apply_Pettit_AlumaProtect_Epoxy_Barrier_Coat.pdf\" target=\"_parent\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" title=\"pdficon.png\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-6rtev5owwo\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/pdficon.png\" alt=\"pdficon.png\" width=\"40\" height=\"39\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wholesalemarine.com\/content\/PDFs\/How_to_Apply_Pettit_AlumaProtect_Epoxy_Barrier_Coat.pdf\"\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pettit Paint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605714829627,"sku":"PET-4400-4401G","price":314.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/4271\/8779\/files\/382625_source_1647351681_823ab7df-0019-4248-a1f1-9fc7fda6040a.jpg?v=1790786573","url":"https:\/\/clinchriverfishingusa.com\/products\/pettit-paint-aluma-protect-kit-2-gal-set-pet-4400-4401g","provider":"Clinch River Fishing USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
