Smart Solution provides equivalent performance to traditional bottom paints, but utilizes metal-free biocides that result in no bioaccumulation in the environment. The coating's reaction to salt water creates a slick film that encapsulates the hull, providing enhanced speed and premium performance against growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow does Smart Solution work? Smart Solution utilizes a pharmaceutical-grade biocide called ECONEA (Tralopyril) to control hard growth. Within days of application, the coating creates a living surface much like the mucoprotein protective slime coat that covers the scales and skin of a fish. This slime coat acts as a defense against bacterial, parasitic, and fungal pathogens. It protects the surface by preventing microorganisms from attaching when the boat is not in motion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmentally-friendly, metal-free bottom paint\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatible over existing antifoulants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCopper-Free\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSlick film increases speed when launched\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncreased speed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLloyd's Register Certified\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eSemi-gloss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVOC: \u003c\/strong\u003e328 grams\/liter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage: \u003c\/strong\u003e267 sq.ft.\/gal.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Coats: \u003c\/strong\u003e3\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors Available: \u003c\/strong\u003e4705-Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 US Gallon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply Sea Hawk Smart Solution Bottom Paint\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSea Hawk Smart Solution 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. Smart Solution 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 \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Semi-Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e  320 Sq Ft\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brush, Rolling, Airless Sprayer\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Roller Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8” Nap\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Coats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet Film Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.0 mils\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry Film Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.2 mils\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Temp\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50° F Min\/ 95° F Max\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea Hawk 2033 Paint Thinner or Xylene\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ctable style=\"height: 57px; ; width: 100%;\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ccaption\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrying Times\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/caption\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate Temp\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eTouch Dry\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Recoat\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Launch\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  41°F\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  16 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  73°F\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  6 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  95°F\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  1 hour\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  4 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e  12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSurface Preparation and Application Systems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreviously Painted Surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnown Compatibility of existing antifoulant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower wash to remove any loose paint or other contaminants.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eScuff sand with 80 grit sandpaper, remove all residue and let dry.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApply minimum 2 coats of Smart Solution.
