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.

Possible causes

• No thinning, wrong thinner or wrong amount of thinner
• Wrong type of roll or brush (wrong bristle lenght)
• Applying too much or too Little paint,
• During painting process temperature was too high or the air was too dry,
• Incorrect preparation of too porous surface,
• Incorrect proportion of thinner.

How to prevent

• Use a brush/Toller suited to the type of surface or paint,
• Use thinner which is dedicated to the type of application and paints
• Use thinning proportions which was indicated by manufacturer,
• Paint in right atmosphere conditions indicated by manufacturer,

How to remove

• Grind, clean and paint again.

Yes, you can paint the bottom of the boat with polyurethane paint due to its high mechanical strength. We recommend this solution when the boat is not launched for a long time and is not exposed to fouling.
