Hints

• Warning: Only apply VC 17m outdoors.
• Mixing: Cut a small corner of the plastic bag containing the powder (stored under the plastic hat) and carefully pour the powder into the can. This should be done indoor or shield from wind and ensuring the powder is poured as closely to the surface as possible to avoid any waste of the powder into the environment. Stir or shake thoroughly for 5 min to ensure homogeneity of the paint. The can is large enough to allow easy stirring. Once mixed the product can be used for
  up to 7 days, provided it is stored with the lid on and mixed thoroughly for 5 minutes before application.
• Thinning: Thinning is not recommended. Antifouling performance can be compromised if correct dry film thickness is not applied.
• Cleaner: YTA600 VC General Thinner. VC General Thinner can be used to remove splashes of VC 17m from the topsides.
• Brush: Do not brush apply.
