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.

Antifouling Sea-Line versus fouling

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

    Can I use yacht paints for a drinking water tank?

    Sea-Line yacht paints are designed for painting the surface of boats and yachts made of various materials, e.g. laminate, wood or steel. We do not have a certificate of the National Institute of Hygiene, which would allow the use of yacht paint to paint the tank with drinking water.

    Why the paint does not have the right flow?

    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.

    Why despite the use of antifouing paint the bottom of the boat is overgrown?

    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.
