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.”

    Can I add some thinner to antifouling paint?

    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).

    Can I use universal thinner?

    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.
