The POR-15 Store Presents Topside Boat Enamel

Valparaiso, IN - POR-15 TOPSIDE Yacht Enamel is a premium-quality state-of-the art polyurethane finish designed for above-the-waterline topsides and decks. One coat, when used with our marine primers, is guaranteed to yield 100% hiding power. As with all POR-15 coatings, POR-15 Topside Yacht Enamel has a higher solids content than any other marine coating. Topside Boat Enamel is good for many differently prepared surfaces as well:

Previously Painted Areas: may be treated with a solution of 2 cups household ammonia in one gallon of water. If mildew is present, remove with household bleach. Be careful never to mix bleach with ammonia.

Bare fiberglass: entire surface must be washed with POR-15 Marine Clean to remove all traces of wax, mold release agents, etc. Next, sand gel-coat with an 80-120 grit sandpaper to obtain a dull, flat, matte surface, then wipe clean with dry cloth.

Bare wood: Fill screw-heads or holes with POR-15 Epoxy Putty, sand smooth, wipe clean with tack cloth, then prime.

Bare Steel or Aluminum: Clean surface with Marine Clean, then spray on POR-15 Metal-Ready for 15 - 30 minutes and wash down with water afterwards. After drying surface thoroughly, apply 1 or 2 coats of POR-15 Marine Rust Preventive Paint. Prime when POR-15 is just dry to the touch with slight finger-drag remaining, usually 3 - 4 hours.

Primers: For all light topcoats, use POR-15 Light Primer (off-white); For all dark topcoats, use POR-15 Dark Primer (light gray). Use of a primer is critical, but choice of light or dark primer is a relatively unimportant judgment call.

As with all the POR-15 products, safety is important. Keep away from heat and flame. To avoid breathing vapors, organic vapor particulate respirators, NIOSH/MSHA approved must be used. Open windows, doors, or use other means to ensure fresh air entry during application and drying. If you experience eye watering, headaches, or dizziness, increase fresh air or wear respiratory protection (NIOSH/MSHA TC 23C or equivalent) or leave area. Do not smoke during application until all vapors (odors) are gone. To avoid spontaneous combustion during temporary storage, soak soiled rags and waste immediately after use in a water-filled closed metal container.
