XXXVI Sailing Regatta “Silver Bell” 2015

Possible causes

• Incorrect proportion of base and herdener,
• Too low temperature of ambient and surface (less than 10ﹾC),
• Mixing two components from two different manufacturers,

How to prevent

• Apply the correct proportions of components
• Maintain steady temperature (around 20ﹾC) during the whole hardening process,
• Use base and hardener from the same manufacturer

How to remove

• The uncured mass requires complete removal from the surface.

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.

We recommend to always sand the surface between applying two different products to ensure uniform surface roughness and adhesion of subsequent layers. The sanded surface should also be cleaned and degreased.
