How long before you can launch or immerse Interlux Micron Optima Antifouling Paint?
Short answer
Water-exposure plan
Splash, filling and continuous immersion are not equivalent
Splashes or dampness can use a different milestone.
Filling, launching or immersion requires the exact water milestone.
Use the Water-based copolymer directions for marine rv; do not infer immersion readiness from touch-dry time.

Using this specific product
Interlux Micron Optima Antifouling Paint is listed here as the Water-based copolymer version for marine rv. For repairing marine or RV equipment, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.
Before you start
- Confirm the package says Water-based copolymer; related versions can use different timing.
- For marine rv, pay particular attention to substrate preparation, temperature and water exposure.
- At manufacturer-stated conditions; temperature, humidity and film thickness can change drying time.
How to check readiness
Check the immersion or launch milestone—not just touch-dry time. Confirm the surface is dry and ready before continuing. Launch timing ranges from 5 to 72 hours with temperature; follow the current label for conditions.
Avoid this mistake
Launching too soon can expose an incompletely cured film continuously.
