This image is an instructional graphic about the proper sanding technique for Coppercoat, an anti-fouling marine coating. The diagram illustrates different levels of sanding and their impact on the coating's effectiveness. Key points include:

The graphic demonstrates that effective anti-fouling properties require thorough sanding of the Coppercoat surface. The image shows three stages of sanding: (1) No sanding at all, where the epoxy remains on top of the copper with no anti-fouling properties, (2) Partial sanding, which is "Not Enough" to expose the copper effectively, and (3) Proper sanding, where all copper is exposed. The right side of the image warns about leaving unsanded areas that can allow marine fouling. The overall message emphasizes the importance of comprehensive and smooth sanding to ensure the Coppercoat's anti-fouling performance.
