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

• Wrong viscosity and spraying technique,
• Failure to maintain proper evaporation time and thickness of layers,
• Incorrect spraying pressure,
• Too low temperature of varnish, surface or space ,
• Wrong thinner or hardener.

How to prevent

• Apply the right type of application method indicated by manufacturer,
• Use working spray guns,
• Both the object and material must have room temperature of 20ﹾC,
• Apply correct proportion of base and hardener.

How to remove

• Grinding and polishing,
• Grinding and painting,

Sea-Line HARD and Sea-Line self-polishing antifouling are not intended for aluminum surfaces. They include copper oxide, which in contact with aluminum causes galvanic corrosion. Especially on aluminum, we offer ALU-PLUS self-polishing anti-fouling paint, which, in addition to excellent adhesion to aluminum, is also 30% more effective than traditional anti-fouling paints.
