Product Description
Marine Undercoat Paint is a multi purpose, high build, oil based universal base coat. For use on wood, metal and painted surfaces, it offers the ability to easily change between contrasting colours. Being a solvent based undercoat gives this paint excellent adhesion as well as a high film thickness. This allows for the filling of pitted areas and then sanding back.
Marine High Build Undercoat is best applied by brush, roller or conventional and airless spray. For thinning and cleaning, use Palatine White Spirit.
Suitable surfaces include wood, ferrous metal and painted surfaces. Specially formulated marine undercoat paints are now more popular due to their specific properties.

This excellent undercoat became the base for the marine undercoat paint we manufacture in the UK. It has become widely accepted that solvent based undercoats have superior properties when applying to wood with the rich alkyd based resin providing flexibly and penetration to the surface.

Preparation:
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
For enhanced protection prime bare surfaces with Palatine Zinc Rich Cold Galvanising Primer or Carboxide Metal Primer.
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Application: Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 15% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume.
For application onto wooden surfaces, a minimum of two coats is recommended.
Please Note: The colours on the product listings are only given as a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application
to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.
