Osmosis treatments

By osmosis, water can enter the hull of a vessel through the gel coat.  When this happens, there is a reaction behind the gel coat creating pressure which causes blisters and eventually cracking. Once this happens, the underlying laminate absorbs water like a sponge, which then starts to compromise the hull.

We can help you protect against this with an osmosis treatment, in which we will:

• Strip off the old gel coat
• Clean the surface area of the hull to remove surface osmotic impurities
• Dry the hull to a recognised standard
• Fill and coat the hull
• Apply antifoul to the hull
