Detailed Product Description:

 

This is a proprietary polyester resin-based bottom finish,

 

specifically formulated to minimize friction on the bottom

 

of aluminum or fiberglass air boats.

 

 

Its consistency is similar to the flow coat (clear gel coat) used

 

as a final finish on the inside of race boat hulls.   It includes

 

surface curing additives, gloss additives, and most importantly,

 

dry film lubricants that saturate the full thickness of the coating.

 

 

Appearance:

 

Mud Slide will produce a coating with a gloss black color.

 

 

Background:

 

Unlike conventional boats where the challenge is to simply reduce

 

the frictional drag of water, air boats have the unique challenge of

 

needing to be able to glide smoothly over pond lilies and other

 

marine growth.  Over the years, enthusiasts have experimented with

 

a number of bottom treatments to reduce the risk of dynamic

 

fouling and to improve their speeds over these growths.

 

 

Application Notes:

 

The surface to be coated should be abraded, washed, rinsed,

 

and then wiped down with acetone.  See more complete instructions
