Keel protection

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.

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).

Possible causes

• No thinning, wrong thinner or wrong amount of thinner
• Wrong type of roll or brush (wrong bristle lenght)
• Applying too much or too Little paint,
• During painting process temperature was too high or the air was too dry,
• Incorrect preparation of too porous surface,
• Incorrect proportion of thinner.

How to prevent

• Use a brush/Toller suited to the type of surface or paint,
• Use thinner which is dedicated to the type of application and paints
• Use thinning proportions which was indicated by manufacturer,
• Paint in right atmosphere conditions indicated by manufacturer,

How to remove

• Grind, clean and paint again.
