How to change antifouling after applying VC17
If your boat has been painted with VC 17 and you wish to change the antifouling, here is the procedure to follow to avoid any problems in the more or less long term:
- Completely sand the hull to remove 100% of VC 17.
- Wash the hull with a detergent to remove VC 17 dust (no thinner, as this spreads the Teflon particles).
- Sanding finish.
- If necessary, apply one or more coats of primer.
