Propspeed works because it is slick, not because it is toxic. Application of Propspeed is a simple two step process beginning with a catalyzed etch primer followed by a silicone based top coat. Propspeed is an environmentally safe product and does not contain copper, tin or any other toxic substances which may cause environmental pollution. Propspeed is a solution to a problem which has frustrated owners and captains for years. 
(1 set of 260ml. Etching Primer + 240ml Clear Silicone Coat) (2sets of 260ml. Etching Primers + 400ml. Clear Coat)
A two component etching primer, chemically drying by reaction of the mixed components and providing a temporary protection against corrosion and increasing the adhesive property of the subsequent coats. Typical Uses: As a pretreatment primer on nonferrous metals such as bronze & aluminium as well as zinc and galvanised iron. May also be used as pretreatment primer on blast-cleaned steel plates.  

Propspeed is an environmentally safe long life foul release coating which prevents the attachment of marine growth by low critical surface tension. Propspeed does not contain the conventional copper or tin compounds or any other toxic substances which might cause environmental pollution. Typical Uses: As a fouling preventative coating for boatճ propellers and running gear. Because Propspeed does not contain copper it is suitable for use close to stern drive and rudder assemblies.

1.All metal surfaces to be coated with PropSpeed must be sanded to an 80 Grit scratch pattern. To not damaged shafts and propellers
2.All sanded surfaces must be cleaned and immediately washed down with fresh water.
3.After all metal surfaces are dry, wipe again with Denatured Alcohol or Acetone.
4.Solids in the etch primer base will settle and attach to the bottom of the can. Therefore, you must scrape the bottom of the can of the etch primer base with a wood stir stick until nothing is attached. Then, stir the etch primer base until all material is uniformly blended (2 to 3 minutes).
5.Now, you are ready to add the etch primer base with the primer catalyst in a 4 to 1 ratio. Stir for 1 minute and let set for 2 minutes.
6.Apply one uniform coat of primer with a white foam roller or a brush. Don't not leave any drips or runs.
7.When the ecth primer is tack free (usually within 3 minutes at 80 degrees) you must apply PropSpeed topcoat. Tack free is described as when the primer can be touched with a finger tip but not leave a finger print.
8.Apply one full even coat of PropSpeed Topcoat with a new clean brush. All drips or runs must be brushed out. Due to it's fast drying characteristics, we recommend that while one person is applying the etch primer, that another person follow aprox. 3 minutes behind applying PropSpeed topcoat. . Let sit overnight and your vessel is ready to launch.
