Lamination – fiberglass and glassfabric

Fiberglass reinforcements, including boat mats and fiberglass fabrics combined with resin, are used for repairs of boats, yachts, camping trailers, and other laminate products. The repaired elements can be made of laminate, steel, aluminum, and of course, wood.

Undoubtedly, coatings obtained using resin along with fiberglass mat or fabric have good adhesion to the substrate, are durable, resistant to gasoline, oils, greases, and also to short-term exposure to temperatures up to 70°C.

To finish laminated surfaces we recommend to use:

epoxy fillers Sea-Line®
epoxy primers Sea-Line®
topcoats Sea-Line®

Product description "Lamination – fiberglass and glassfabric"

Glass Fibre Mate
Glass fibre mat, in connection with laminating resin, is used for the repairs of big holes in boats, yachts, camping caravans, etc. The repaired elements may be made from steel, aluminum or GRP, reinforced with glass fibre. The obtained layers have very good adherence, are durable, resistant to petrol, oils, greases, and the short period temperatures up to 70ºC.

Glass Fabric
Glass fabric are used in the production of laminates, as a resin reinforcement. Allows for a higher glass content in the laminate and better durability. Minimizes the amount of resin necessary for the production of laminates while increasing durability.

To obtain a full-fledged and adequately strong laminate, use a 2:1 weight ratio of resin to fibre glass mat or 1:1 weight ratio of resin to glass fabric.

Our FAQ answers to frequently asked questions

Possible causes

Wrong surface preparation,
Skipping the primer in the system application process,
Use of universal thinners or replacements ,
Paint incompatibility.

How to prevent

Correct surface preparation (grinding, clearing, degreasing),
Use primers which improve adhesion of paints,
Use thinners which are dedicated to each paints,
Use of paints which are compatible to each other.

How to remove

Grind, clean and paint again.

Do not add more hardener, because after the base has cured, the remaining hardener will react with subsequent layers, which will be applied to the surface and cause defects. For the product to work properly, please follow the proportions given by the manufacturer.

We do not recommend using universal thinners. The use of a thinner with an unknown composition may result in loss of adhesion, lack of proper flow of paint and varnish defects.
