Parafina Sea-Line

Paraffin is an additive mainly to polyester gelcoats, necessary when it is necessary to apply the gelcoat to the outer surface of the finished laminate.

Gelcoat with the addition of paraffin corrector is topcot. By adding paraffin to the gelcoat, we will stop the phenomenon of oxygen inhibition, which is the reason why the gelcoat does not dry out and the surface remains sticky.

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
