• Use C1 shell and fouling remover.

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.

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.
