Possible causes

• Too thin layer of antifouling paint,
• Choosing the wrong antifouling to type of a boat or yacht
• Thinning of antifouling paint,
• Incorrect surface preparation before antifouling application.

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),

How to remove

• Wet grinding, apply new layers of antifouling paint.
• Use C1 shell and fouling remover.

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.

Possible causes

• Too low temperature of ambitne,
• Incorrect proportion of base and herdener,
• Mixing two components from two different manufacturers

How to prevent

• Apply the correct proportions of components
• Maintain steady temperature (around 20ﹾC) during whole hardening process,
• Mix the products thoroughly and bleed the mixture.

How to remove

• The uncured mass requires complete removal from the surface.
