Hempel Preparation and Application Method

Ensure all surfaces are clean, oil-free and dry.
Clean with a pre-clean or degreaser.

Apply the spray 20-30cm from the surface.

Hempel Mixing Advice
Hold the can in a vertical position and shake well until the agitator ball is heard, then continue shaking for a further 2 minutes.
Shake can occasionally during use.
Spray upside down at the end of the application to clean the nozzle.

Hempel Preparation for previously coated surfaces
Remove old layers of antifouling, primer and loose matter.
Remove dust.
Clean with Pre-clean or a degreaser. 
Wash the surface with fresh water and allow it to dry.
Apply a layer of Prop Primer onto the bare substrate, then apply several layers of Prop Primer to obtain a smooth and uniform surface.

Hempel Preparation for bare, previously uncoated surfaces
Hempel recommends a tie coat, first layer followed by one layer at a time until a smooth and uniform surface is attained.

Hempel Recommended Coats
Coverage by spray should be much thinner than brushing or rolling, so multiple coats are recommended to obtain the required depth.
