DRY DOCKING
An annual application of antifouling will spare time-consuming and frequent dry-docking. An epoxy coat is
nonetheless recommended. In that respect, we must remind you that sanding or priming before anti-fouling
are tantamount to attacking your gel-coat and impair its reliability. Therefore, we recommend very gentle
sanding.
Hydrochloric acid may be used against rooted fouling in way of the boot top, allowed to act for 10 minutes and
rinsed liberally.
Polish pastes can restore the gloss of your ship. In case of lasting problems, consult your distributor.
Biodegradable cleaners and maintenance products have been tested and approved by the shipbuilder, since
they protect both the materials and environment.
RECOMENDATION!
The hull is not designed for an excessive and permanent load on the transom extension (for
instance a jet ski, ...)
In this case, there is a risk of water inlet through the engine exhaust.
In that case the engines would be damaged and out of guarantee.
The load limit is determined by a maximum sinking that can be measured when in the marina (Full tanks and
no crew onboard).
GEL-COAT REPAIRS INSTRUCTION
MIXING RATIO
Our products include an accelerator; you just have to add the catalyst (colourless liquid). The usual ratio is 2%.
The gel setting-time is about half an hour, curing takes approximately ten hours.
Successful repairs require two critical factors:
dry weather and temperature between 15° and 25°C.(60°-80°F)
APPLICATION
- To seal off scratches or blister holes, clean the surface with acetone and sand the area,
- Prepare the required amount of gel-coat preferably on a glass plate,
- Apply the product with a spatula or pointed tool,
- Apply an over-sized coat to allow for sanding with abrasive and water and polishing to achieve the
required gloss,
- Blending minor touch up on smooth surfaces is obtained by sticking scotch tape (or better still, Mylar
tape) on the freshly applied gel-coat, then separate it after curing (sand with extra-fine abrasive and
polish to obtain a high gloss finish).
