I have found a slot to get narrowboat out, Monday am to Thursday pm. Forecast reasonable, temp 11 to 15 C, some showers.
Two paint suppliers recommended Jotamastic 90 for use on previously two pack epoxied surface with not perfect prep. Ie high prrsuure wash and wire brush where required.
I would need to test to ensure that original was indeed two pack, SML provide a test, thinners on a cloth essentially.
I seem to think from data sheets that curing is related to temperature, and that full immersion is not recommended within two days at average temperature. Not mentioned by the paint companies, does this mean I can have it out, washed, prepped and a coating on rubbing strakes etc on day 1, two coats on day 2, and back in water on day 4? It won't be fully cured for some time, I understand this, but can it complete curing in water?
Ot should I wait till mid summer, when temps might be 20 to 30?
