    Horizons is an affordable ablative antifouling paint that provides excellent protection against fouling through a controlled release of copper over time. It can be applied to boats that will be launched and re-launched without needing to be repainted each time. The ablative technology allows the coating to gradually wear away over multiple seasons of use. Surface preparation and proper application are important to ensure optimal performance.

    water and even electrolysis can ruin an antifouling paint. Therefore, we strongly 6999 Sandless Primer
    suggest that the bottom of the boat be checked regularly to make sure it is clean 7000/7001 Epoxy Fairing Compound
    and that no growth is occurring. Lightly scrub the bottom with a soft brush to
    remove anything from the antifouling paint surface. Scrubbing is particularly
    important with boats that are idle for extended periods of time. The self-
    cleaning nature of the coating is most effective when the boat is used periodi-
    cally.

    SYSTEMS
    Mix paint thoroughly to ensure toxicants are evenly dispersed throughout the can. All surfaces must be clean,
    dry and properly prepared prior to painting. Do not apply Horizons on aluminum hulls or outdrives.

    Previously Painted Surfaces: If the previous coating is in good condition, thoroughly sand with 80 grit paper
    then solvent clean with 185 ACP-Thinner to remove residue. Apply two finish coats of Horizons. If the previous
    coating is soft or in poor condition, remove to the bare surface by sanding or using a paint & varnish remover.
    Proceed with appropriate bare system as described below. Old tin copolymers should be removed or sealed with
    Pettit 6627 Tie Coat Primer before applying Horizons.

    Bare Fiberglass: All bare fiberglass, regardless of age, should be thoroughly cleaned several times with Pettit
    95 Fiberglass Dewaxer or 120 Brushing Thinner. Sand thoroughly with 80 grit sandpaper to a dull, frosty finish
    and rewash the sanded surface with 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer or 120 Brushing Thinner to remove sanding residue.
    Then apply two coats of Horizons, following application instructions. Careful observation of the above instruc-
    tions will help ensure long term adhesion of this and subsequent years' antifouling paint.

    To eliminate the sanding operation, wash the fiberglass three times using Pettit 95 Fiberglass Dewaxer only.
    Then apply one coat of Pettit 6999 Sandless Primer. Consult the Sandless Primer label for complete application
    and antifouling topcoating instructions. Apply two or three coats of Horizons.

    Barrier Coat: Fiberglass bottoms potentially can form osmotic blisters within the gelcoat and into the laminate.
    To render the bottom as water impermeable as possible, prepare the fiberglass surface as mentioned above
    (sanding method) then apply three coats of Pettit Protect 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer per label directions.
    Apply two or three finish coats of Horizons.

    Blistered Fiberglass: See Pettit Technical Bulletin TB-1000 Gelcoat Blister Repair and Prevention Specification
    for detailed instructions.

    Bare Wood: Sand entire surface with 80 grit paper; wash clean with 185 ACP-Thinner. Apply a coat of Hori-
    zons thinned 25% with 185 ACP-Thinner, allow an overnight dry, lightly sand and wipe clean. Apply two finish
    coats of Horizons unthinned.

    Bare Steel*: Sandblast or disc sand to a clean, bright finish and remove residue with clean, dry compressed air
    or a clean brush. Immediately apply two coats of Pettit 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer. Read and follow
    carefully the instructions on the 4700/4701 Epoxy Primer label. If the surface to be painted will be prepared
    using hand tools such as wire wheels or sanders, clean-off residue and immediately apply one coat of Pettit 6980
    Rustlok Steel Primer. Let dry 1-2 hours and follow with two coats of 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer. Read
    and follow carefully the instructions for application and topcoating on both primer labels. Apply two or three
    finish coats of Horizons.

    Keels - Lead: Abrade surface to bright metal; clean off residue. Apply one thin coat of 6455/044 Metal Primer;
    allow to dry six hours. Apply one coat of 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer then, if fairing is required, apply
    Pettit Protect 7000/7001 Epoxy Fairing Compound. Follow with an additional coat of 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy
    Primer per label directions. Apply two or three finish coats of Horizons.

    Keels - Steel or Cast Iron: Abrade surface to bright metal; clean off residue. Apply one coat of 6980 Rustlok
    Steel Primer, allowing to dry only 1-2 hours prior to overcoating. Then, if fairing is required, apply 7000/7001
    Epoxy Fairing Compound followed by one coat of 4700/4701 High Build Epoxy Primer, finish with two or three
    coats of Horizons.

    Underwater Gear - Stainless Steel and Bronze: Use the same system as for lead keels.

    *This is a simplified system for small areas designed for good performance and easy application by the boatyard
    professional or do-it-yourselfer. For larger vessels or for applications where a high performance, professional
    system is desired, please consult your local Pettit representative or the Pettit Technical Department.
