Its specially formulated fluoro micro-additive provides a thin film finish. This additive also reduces both friction and drag. VC17M dries fast to a hard and very smooth surface that is ideal for racing. Interlux VC-17M bottom paint also dries to a smooth finish in far less time than competitor’s products which require days to sand and reapply their product. Additionally, VC17m provides antifouling protection in fresh water or low-fouling salt water, against zebra mussels and other marine organisms known to cause fouling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in quart size and four popular colors, note that Interlux VC-17’s color may change after several weeks of immersion. (See chart below.) Applying VC-17M bottom paint is easy and drying time is minimal. This means less downtime and quicker re-launch of your boat. This product can also be used on inflatables to extend their service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlux VC-17m bottom paint provides thin film antifouling protection- ideal for racing sailboats and powerboats\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFluoro micro-additive produces low friction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for use in fresh and low-fouling saltwater\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso recommended for Inflatables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePack Size:1 US Quart.

For best results from Interlux VC 17m antifouling bottom paint, first, remove all soft paints and any paint in poor condition from the surface to be treated. Hard paints that are in good condition may be overcoated with VC 17m bottom paint, but must be sanded thoroughly to a smooth surface prior to applying VC 17m. To prepare an optimal surface, sand first with 80-grit sandpaper and work successively up the grades to 320-grit sandpaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlux VC17m\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitially, in the first season and in low fouling, cold saltwater, three coats should be applied, then two coats every season after.
