Description
Sea Hawk Cukote Antifouling Paint is a self-polishing copolymer antifoulant with a high loading of cuprous oxide.

Best for Hot fresh water areas
Super clean from slim, most of the summer! I like the Shark White to see when it gets slimy.

Nice enough stuff. Goes on nicely. Two coats. The color was not exactly what l was expecting but l’m okay with it. Word of advice…wear a respirator!

High quality and durable.
This is an excellent antifouling paint. We bought the boat last year and the first application lasted 5 years (in Lake Michigan). Reapplication was relatively easy, although it should be done in a well ventilated area.

Great product, great store!
This is the best bottom paint I have found to work in an especially bad marina, as far as marine growth.
Defender had the best price and quick shipping

This is the first time I used it. It goes on nice and smooth. Hopefully it’ll last.

Questions
What is the best paint roller size and nap for application, assuming at least 2 coats.
Hello,
Seahawk Recommends a solvent resistant roller cover 3/8” pile
(nap), smooth to medium. Prewash roller cover to remove loose fibers prior to use a standard 9" or 7" roller is fine depending on your preference.

What is the recommended maximum time you could wait to put the boat back in the water?
I've waited 4-5 months after painting and no problem. Might want to call Sea Hawk customer service and ask how long before repainting or lightly sanding.
