Lamination – fiberglass and glassfabric

Fiberglass reinforcements, including boat mats and fiberglass fabrics combined with resin, are used for repairs of boats, yachts, camping trailers, and other laminate products. The repaired elements can be made of laminate, steel, aluminum, and of course, wood.

Undoubtedly, coatings obtained using resin along with fiberglass mat or fabric have good adhesion to the substrate, are durable, resistant to gasoline, oils, greases, and also to short-term exposure to temperatures up to 70°C.

To finish laminated surfaces we recommend to use:

epoxy fillers Sea-Line®
epoxy primers Sea-Line®
topcoats Sea-Line®

Product description "Lamination – fiberglass and glassfabric"

Glass Fibre Mate
Glass fibre mat, in connection with laminating resin, is used for the repairs of big holes in boats, yachts, camping caravans, etc. The repaired elements may be made from steel, aluminum or GRP, reinforced with glass fibre. The obtained layers have very good adherence, are durable, resistant to petrol, oils, greases, and the short period temperatures up to 70ºC.

Glass Fabric
Glass fabric are used in the production of laminates, as a resin reinforcement. Allows for a higher glass content in the laminate and better durability. Minimizes the amount of resin necessary for the production of laminates while increasing durability.

To obtain a full-fledged and adequately strong laminate, use a 2:1 weight ratio of resin to fibre glass mat or 1:1 weight ratio of resin to glass fabric.

Our FAQ answers to frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.
