  • Water-Based Antifouling Paint: JD Select is a low-VOC bottom paint that repels barnacles, slime, algae, and weeds from powerboat and sailboat hulls below the waterline. Delivers single-season protection on fiberglass, wood, and steel in salt, fresh, and brackish water.
  • Ablative Bottom Paint: Keeps your boat protected all season as the coating gradually wears away as your boat moves through the water to expose fresh copper biocide while reducing paint build-up for easier prep next season. Burnish smooth for added speed and fuel efficiency.
  • Easy Application & Cleanup: Water-based bottom paint that applies smoothly with low odor and no solvents - ideal for marinas and boat yards with VOC restrictions. Cleans up with soap and water. No maximum dry time to launch, so you can prep and paint early.
  • Easy to Apply for DIY & Professional Painters: Use a foam or 3/16" nap roller, chip or foam brush, or airless/conventional sprayer. Thin up to 10% with water as needed. Apply 12 thin coats; dries in as little as 2 hours.

Description

"TotalBoat JD Select Water-Based Ablative Bottom Paint protects sailboats and power boats in fresh and salt water, handling low-to-moderate fouling conditions with 25.5% cuprous oxide (copper) biocide. Use on fiberglass, wood, and steel hulls to help prevent barnacles, slime, weeds, algae, zebra mussels, and other fouling organisms from slowing you down. The self-polishing ablative formula gradually wears away to continuously expose fresh biocide as your boat moves through the water, while reducing paint build-up for easier prep and repainting next season. Ideal for boatyards and waters with environmental restrictions, this low-VOC, water-based bottom paint has no harsh solvent fumes and cleans up easily with soap and water. Apply with a chip or foam brush, 3/16"" nap roller, or spray equipment over properly prepared surfaces, including most existing hard and ablative bottom paints in good condition. Do not use on aluminum or over thin-film freshwater paints. For maximum adhesion and to help protect blistering or corrosion, prime bare surfaces first with TotalProtect Epoxy Barrier Coat. Apply in temperatures between 50-90°F with humidity below 90%. Most boats need only 1-2 coats, with an extra coat recommended on high-wear areas such as skegs and leading keel edges. Thin up to 10% with water if needed. Launch 6-16 hours after the final coat, depending on temperature, with no maximum launch window so you can paint on your schedule. For racing sailboats and high-performance power boats, burnish the cured finish smooth for added speed and improved fuel efficiency. Available in Black, Blue, Green, and Red in Quart and Gallon sizes. Covers up to 500 sq. ft. per gallon. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area and protect from freezing. For below-the-waterline antifouling use only. Not intended for aluminum hulls, household use, or marine topside applications. Compare to Interlux Aqua-One, Bottom Kote, Pettit Hydrocoat, Sea Hawk Monterey, and West Marine WBA."

I slap a layer of this on every season and it works good enough in the sea of cortez. One gallon does 1 coat on a 33ft boat with a large fin keel

Very impressive application quality with painting suit, roller, pan and stir sticks
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
I have been using various bottom paints wince about 1983. This review has no bias for or against JD Select, in that I bought the product. It was not supplied at reduced cost for a review. OK, so my boat is 41 feet and requires between two and three gallons. I open the first gallon and found very little settling of the heavier compounds. A few minutes with the supplied stir stick, and into the supplied roller pan and application with the supplied roller. Excellent coverage. Very smooth line free dried result. It was 52 degree F and the paint was dry enough to recoat in a little over one hour. No smell at all. I didn't miss the fumes from solvent based paints. Back from the marina I found some paint on my arm, dried. Two seconds under the faucet and the dried paint was gone. The application phase couldn't have gone better. The look of the paint and coverage is excellent. How well will it perform? Only time will tell, I can't review that at this point. ... show more

Shipping of the paint should be better executed Shipping of the paint should be better executed
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
I have bought this paint before years ago for my boat and never had any issues. There is no bubble wrap or protection in the box. It was leaking.. I like the paint. It works well on my boat. I do not understand why it can’t be shipped to me in a better box shipping with bubble wrap.

Great Paint
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
I purchased a gallon of both Black and Blue JD Select bottom paint. Both went on easily and brushes, roller and pan were super easy to clean up. The can says it will cover approximately 400sq ft and by all calculations I estimated that I should get 2-3 coats per gallon on the bottom of my boat. as it turns out I'll get probably 5-6 coats of black and 4-5 coats of blue. The blue was more prone to drips than the black but in my opinion both are excellent products. I'm very impressed and will continue to use Total Boat and JD Select products. ... show more

Dries to quick
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Blue
This paint dries to quickly when you try to roll it on. I ended up putting it into a paint sprayer and spraying it on. If you do roll it on, you have to keep your roller wet with water to be able to cover more area.

Impressed with results
Size: 128 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Black
Each year I use the least expensive antifouling paint I can find. I bought this because the lower cost paint was out of stock, and I can tell the difference is like night and day. My boat has been sitting in the water for 3 months and there's nothing attached or growing on the sides that I can see. In the past there would be algae growing within the 1st month. I won't know how the bottom held up until I pull the boat out for the season, but I expect it to better than the past using cheaper paint. The cost was worth it. ... show more
