The fully-restored Cornelia Marie features its distinctive teal color in Sherwin-Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane Gloss, which provides superior adhesion and impact resistance, as well as outstanding color and gloss retention.
applicators applied Hi-Solids Polyurethane Gloss at 3-5 mils WFT in the distinctive Cornelia Marie teal color. When the Cornelia Marie docked in Seattle a few months later to receive new engines and updates to its living areas, the vessel’s crew recoated the main deck and lower house. They applied three coats of SeaGuard 6000 epoxy by brush and roller at 5-7 mils DFT per coat on the main deck. In addition, a crew from Northlake Shipyard spray-applied a coat of SeaGuard 6000 at 5-7 mils DFT in the engine room followed by a topcoat of Hi-Solids Polyurethane at 3-5 mils DFT. Combating Corrosion from ‘Haul to Hull’ Following the maintenance and restoration work performed on the Cornelia Marie, Sherwin-Williams coatings are now protecting the vessel from its haul to its hull. The protective coatings applications will help keep corrosion at bay and extend maintenance intervals, so the fishing vessel can maximize its earning potential by staying in the water as long as possible between dry docks.
