  1. IN FEBRUARY 2013 WE COMPLETED A CERTIFIED APPLICATOR TRAINING SESSION AT PORTLAND YACHT SERVICES. THE OWNERS OF PYS GRACIOUSLY ALLOWED SEVERAL OTHER YARDS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE JOB. YANKEE MARINA, GOWEN MARINE, RUMERY’S BOATYARD AND HAMILTON MARINE WERE ALSO PRESENT.

  2. THE PROJECT BOAT WAS A TAYANA 48’ WHICH WAS IN FOR A MAJOR REFIT IN PREPARATION FOR EXTENDED CRUISING IN NEW ENGLAND AND THEN ON TO THE CARRIBBEAN.

  3. THE BOTTOM WAS BLASTED AND THEN BEAUTIFULLY PREPARED TO AN 80 GRIT PROFILE BY ERIC THIBODEAU AND HIS CREW.

  4. THE WATERLINE WAS MASKED 4 CONSECUTIVE TIMES. THIS ALLOWS A LAYER TO BE REMOVED AFTER EACH COAT RESULTING IN A MUCH CLEANER EDGE AT THE END OF THE PROJECT.

  5. WHILE THE FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE JOB ARE COMPLETED AN OVERVIEW OF THE ENTIRE JOB WAS PRESENTED TO THE GROUP. IN ORDER TO OFFER THE WARRANTY ALL SEA HAWK PAINT SYSTEMS MUST BE FOLLOWED.

  6. THE FINAL STEP IN HULL PREPARATION IS TO WIPE DOWN THE ENTIRE HULL WITH S80 WAX ‘N’ GREASE KILLER.

  7. AFTER SHAKING EACH CAN THE MATERIALS FOR THE JOB ARE DELIVERED TO THE JOB SITE.

  8. THE TUFF STUFF BASE AND ACTIVATOR ARE MIXED IN A 1:1 RATIO. THIS MAKES IT VERY EASY TO MIX JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF MATERIAL FOR THE JOB THUS REDUCING WASTE.

  9. THE TUFF STUFF IS MIXED WITH A DRILL MIXER AND ALLOWED A 20 MINUTE INDUCTION TIME PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF THE EPOXY.

  10. THE USE OF A QUALITY ROLLER COVER IS CRUCIAL TO THE OUTCOME OF THE JOB. WE USED WOOSTER CANDY STRIPE ROLLERS, ¼” NAP X 9”. THIS ROLLER COVER REMAINS INTACT THROUGH THE ENTIRE JOB AND LEAVES NO LINT IN THE TUFF STUFF.

  11. HERE THE SECOND COAT OF TUFF STUFF IS APPLIED. THE ¼” NAP CANDY STRIPE ROLLERS GIVE US 4-6 MIL WFT ON THE FIRST COAT AND 8-10 MIL ON COATS 2 AND 3.

  12. EARLY IN THE JOB THE DRYING CONDITIONS WERE RATHER SLOW. YOU WILL SEE A SMALL FAN POSITIONED AT THE FAR END OF THE KEEL. THIS AIR FLOW SPEEDS UP THE CURING TIME CONSIDERABLY AND ALLOWS US TO REMAIN ON SCHEDULE. HERE THE THIRD AND FINAL COAT OF TUFF STUFF IS APPLIED. WE HAVE ACHIEVED A TOTAL DRY FILM THICKNESS OF 10+ MIL.

  13. AT LUNCH TIME WE ADJOURNED TO THE PYS “MARINE LEARNING CENTER” CLASSROOM. WE CONTINUED A DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC SEA HAWK PAINT PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS. WE UTILIZED SEVERAL POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS SHOWING OTHER JOBS AND PROJECT BOATS.

  14. THE FINAL COAT OF THE DAY IS A RED SIGNAL COAT OF TALON. FOLLOWING THE SIGNAL COAT 2 FINAL COATS OF BLUE BIOCOP TF WILL BE APPLIED.

  15. THE TALON ROLLS BEAUTIFULLY. BECAUSE SEA HAWK PAINTS USE MORE PIGMENT THAN OUR COMPETITION IT ALSO COVERS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.

  16. THE ENTIRE SIGNAL COAT OF TALON ON THIS 48’ HULL REQUIRED LESS THAN 1 GALLON OF PAINT. THE ENTIRE JOB INCLUDING 3 COATS OF TUFF STUFF AND A SIGNAL COAT OF TALON PLUS CLASSROOM TIME WAS COMPLETED IN AN 8 HOUR DAY WITH 2 MEN ROLLING.

  17. HERE IS OUR NEWEST GROUP OF SEA HAWK PAINT CERTIFIED APPLICATORS. PORTLAND YACHT SERVICES, YANKEE MARINA & BOATYARD, GOWEN MARINE AND RUMERY’S BOATYARD ARE NOW AUTHORIZED TO OFFER THE SEA HAWK PAINT WARRANTY. THANKS TO PORTLAND YACHT SERVICES FOR THE GENEROUS USE OF THEIR FACILITIES FOR THIS PROJECT.
