Antifouling Sea-Line versus fouling

„I used Antifouling Sea-Line two seasons ago (in 2014). Before the beginning of the 2015 season, I painted the wooden rudder, ,,newly secured” with Le Tenkinios, a natural oil varnish, with Antifouling Sea-Line (in two layers).

The remaining paint was used on the hulk and – to my surprise – I did not find any difference in the quality of antifouling security compared to the one made the year before. Similarly surprised was the boatswain who every single day launches yachts at my marina. He stated that many yachts were covered with shells but he did not find anything at my Ka-Haar. Making preparations for wintering, I cleaned the whole yacht therefore in the pictures there are white damp patches visible, the remains of the gelcoat cleaner.

After the two seasons I can confidently say that:

Antifouling Sea-Line versus fouling at Zalew Szczeciński, the score is 2:0.

The third round „Antifouling Sea-Line versus fouling at Zalew Szczeciński” begins in just three months. My plan of the winter renovation works at the bottom includes securing minor mechanical damages, from the bottom and the rudder (max. 10 cm²), with antifouling paint. Instead of working hard at the renovation of antifouling surface, I will devote my winter evenings to reminiscing this year’s cruises.”

Our FAQ answers to frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.
