Tender Antifoul

[ArranP]

The tender a 4.2m Highfield, has a steel hull surranded by Hypalon tubes inflated with air. Mine is currently in the water all the time at the moment and I would like to antifoul the bottom.

I have been supplied with International Intergard 263 primer and International Interspeed 376 White paint from my local distrubutor.

I am uncertain if this can be applied to both the steel hull and the bottom of the Hypalon tubes and would welcome comments / advice.

I have reached out to International paints via email but received no response and my local distributor of International paint does not know what Hypalon is.

I would welcome advice on how to proceed antifouling both the steel hull and Hypalon tubes as I keep my tender in the water most of the time at the moment.

Regards
Arran.

Are you sure that the hull is steel? Seems unlikely to me, for most Hyfield dinks have aluminium hulls. And it matters: copper based anti fouling paints are not recommended for aluminium hulls but are fine for steel.
