Recommendation for LIGHTWEIGHT EPOXY FILLER – Sea Line

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).

• Wrong viscosity and spraying technique,
• Failure to maintain proper evaporation time and thickness of layers,
• Incorrect spraying pressure,
• Too low temperature of varnish, surface or space ,
• Wrong thinner or hardener.

How to prevent

• Apply the right type of application method indicated by manufacturer,
