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

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.

We do not recommend using universal thinners. The use of a thinner with an unknown composition may result in loss of adhesion, lack of proper flow of paint and varnish defects.

Yes, you can mix Sea-Line polyurethane paints. The only difference are the pigments of polyurethane paints that determine the color of the paint. But remember to keep the right proportions of base, hardener and thinner.
