How to prevent

• Apply the right layer thickness of paint indicated by manufacturer,
• Choose antifouling dedicated to type of boat or yacht and suitable for the type of water,
• Do not thin antifouling because of the risk of reducing effectiveness,
• Careful surface preparations (grinding, clearing, degreasing),
