Exposure of a freshly applied antifouling paint to moist air can lead to color change. The discoloration is only superficial and does not affect the effectiveness of the antifouling paint. Due to the content of copper oxide, a small color difference between the parts of the antifouling paint is acceptable.

If anti-fouling is being applied to a vessel without any paint coatings, it is advisable to first apply systems that create protective layers. This means that different protection will be applied to different surfaces:
If the vessel has old anti-fouling coatings, first check the compatibility between the new paint and the previously applied paint. If the paints are incompatible or the coatings are in poor condition, they should be removed and treated as for new units without antifouling protection. If the paints are compatible and the coatings are in good condition, wet sand the surface with P120-P240 grit sandpaper before applying new coats. After sanding, clean and degrease the surfaces using Sea-Line Cleaner.
If the existing coating is in good condition and the type of antifouling paint previously applied is unknown (excluding paints containing Teflon), wet sanding the surface with P120-P240 grit sandpaper is recommended. Then, use Sea-Line Universal Chlorinated Rubber 1K Primer as a release agent; see the primer’s technical data sheets.
In the case of high temperatures and the need to thin the antifouling paint, a maximum dilution of 0-5% (by volume) is recommended.
Dilution and the application method directly affect the thickness of the antifouling paint layer.
Special attention should be paid to obtaining a specific coating thickness (100 μm DTF), which ensures the effective operation of the antifouling paint.

If the scratches are not deep, then we can renew the scratched side by polishing with Sea-Line polishing pastes. Above the waterline, when the scratches are not deep, the surface can be repaired with a DRY FAST gel coat filler. Deep scratches should be filled with epoxy filler (selected depending on the requirements of the scratched surface), painted with a primer and then painted with topcoat.
There is a possibility of thinning antifouling, but we do not recommend this procedure due to the risk of reducing the effectiveness of the paint. If it is necessary to thin the antifouling paint, it is recommended to dilute it to a maximum of 0-5% (by volume).
