Epoxy primer in the “Żagle” water sports magazine

If the scratches are not deep, then we can renew the scratched side by polishing with Sea-Line polishing pastes. Above the waterline, when the scratches are not deep, the surface can be repaired with a DRY FAST gel coat filler. Deep scratches should be filled with epoxy filler (selected depending on the requirements of the scratched surface), painted with a primer and then painted with topcoat.

There is a possibility of thinning antifouling, but we do not recommend this procedure due to the risk of reducing the effectiveness of the paint. If it is necessary to thin the antifouling paint, it is recommended to dilute it to a maximum of 0-5% (by volume).

Possible causes

• No thinning, wrong thinner or wrong amount of thinner
• Wrong type of roll or brush (wrong bristle lenght)
• Applying too much or too Little paint,
• During painting process temperature was too high or the air was too dry,
• Incorrect preparation of too porous surface,
• Incorrect proportion of thinner.

How to prevent

• Use a brush/Toller suited to the type of surface or paint,
• Use thinner which is dedicated to the type of application and paints
• Use thinning proportions which was indicated by manufacturer,
• Paint in right atmosphere conditions indicated by manufacturer,

How to remove

• Grind, clean and paint again.
