The amount of work in March this year was enormous. We have a 44-year-old Janneau 28 on Lake Chiemsee and have decided to completely rebuild the underwater hull. Removed the old antifouling with the scraper blade, sanded, filled epoxy, sanded, applied 5x Hempels Light Primer, then 1x Silic one Tiecoat and then 2x Silic one. Between the penultimate light primer coat and the subsequent coats, the max and min times must be observed depending on the temperature. In March, this can only be carried out in a heated hall. Time spent for two is two long weekends of 4 days each. Now to the conclusion The first aha effect came during the season. Our boat runs significantly faster. Especially with the typical light winds on Lake Chiemsee, we amazed many a performance boat. And now after the season and the crane out, the result is still sensational. A light cleaning of the underwater hull with the high-pressure cleaner and the paint looks like new. The time and money were worth it and we are finally setting an example when it comes to the environment.

The product is really good. There is nothing to complain about, only the delivery service is. Unfortunately, that's the case everywhere at the moment. It would be nice if the gentlemen were only paid when the service was rendered, then things would probably go differently.

Silicone paint for shaft, propeller and rudder protection

Contrary to the manufacturer's recommendation, despite winter storage, I do not paint a new layer after a few weeks of land storage and the protection against solid growth remains excellent. Use SilicOne on a GFK-15 dinghy cruiser on the Havel. After 1 week, a light algae coating forms on the underwater hull, which after a few hours of sailing only remains in the area of the waterline. However, this can easily be removed with a rag. At the end of the season, wipe it off with a wet wipe and you have a shiny underwater ship! In between the boat lay idle for a maximum of 7 weeks, the dark slime with a few algae simply falls off after a few meters of travel. In the past, there were often mussels in the untreated sword case, after I treated them with SilicOne in the underwater area as well. Has survived 200 km of trailers and 4 times cranes without damage. For possible repairs, small amounts can simply be drawn up from the freshly opened jar with a syringe, placed in a small, dry disposable glass and a few pearls of desiccant such as molecular sieve or silica gel added. Absolute recommendation for those who do not want to paint antifouling every winter, pay attention to good upholstery (cushions) when trailers and want to bring a little less copper into our waters.

First a praise to SVB, I called on Monday because I was missing a can of silicon one. I needed the product in Enkhuizen (NL) because the boat should be in the water on Friday. The DHL messenger was on site punctually on Thursday. Big cinema. We are very satisfied with silicon one. We first used it two years ago. After this time in the water, the hull was like new. We have rebuilt some places (Kiel) and painted them with a different color on the previous one. Red on blue so that in two years we can see exactly where we need to rework. I have a suggestion for improvement. The boat rests on stamps and must be painted in these places before entering the water. A whole can is way too much for that, a quarter of a can, for this use, it would be easy.

After two years of the first order, our conclusion - it works great! We have a Cruiser 40 in the IJsselmeer, brackish water. We had completely rebuilt the hull with four new layers of epoxy and tiecoat primer. Please note the processing time and maximum time intervals. After two years, with the high-pressure cleaning, at a distance !, the underwater hull was like new and freshly painted. There were so many astonished looks in the harbor. A thin streak has come off with the palm of your hand! Great thing! There were few small spots where the Silic One, smaller than a fingernail, came off. It is possible that too little primer was applied or the paint was too thin - unfortunately we don't know. After two years we have now applied a coat of paint with short pile rollers. You have to work quickly, preferably in pairs. For our 40s, including the keel and rudder blade, we got along with exactly 5 cans. B. when it goes into the water. We have chosen a different color in order to be able to recognize the layer application, we can only recommend that.

Used in the third year for a fast sports boat. This antifouling works really well. It forms a gel film in the water which washes off when driving through the water. Cleaning at the end of the season is child's play with a sponge! The renewal coat in spring too, just wash off the dust and apply a new coat. No grinding, no cleaning with solvents! Highly Recommended!

I tested the product despite the reluctance of everyone around me in May 2018. I just released the boat and I was pleasantly surprised to have nothing to do on the hull apart from a karcher and make two small touches! Possibility to wash the shell with a sponge from time to time, enjoying a swim. I recommend this product absolutely ...

After almost one and a half years in the water (Baltic Sea, North Sea, now Atlantic canals), the underwater area was almost without vegetation. Cleaning with the steam jet and a coat are enough again for 12 to 2 years. An antifouling that really convinces. And SVB is probably one of the few if not the only one that delivers easily to the Canaries. And that for (as I find) cheap € 20 for 7 cans of color. Even on Amazon.es it says for many products "delivery to the Canary Islands not possible". SVB has also deducted the 19% VAT (around € 50). The rate is only 7% in the Canary Islands, but the customs has not charged us (so far).

The processing is a bit more demanding, the result is convincing.

Let's look at the end of the season which depends on the hull

Workmanship great, times see what dran hang remains.

Super paint, am convinced of product

Innovative product with positive surprises and slight weaknesses

innovative and ecological product we see the coming years as it goes

Unfortunately, the yield of the Silic One itself was lower than stated. Silic Seal has with 2 cans for the underwater ship fitted Tiecoat, I have even only about 1.5 cans consumed at the Silic One, I then, however, with 3 cans no 100% coverage and hinbekommen because I have only bought 4 cans synonymous no 2. Otherwise all the paints can be processed well and I am looking forward to the result after the summer

problem with the packaging, the tins were badly dented when I opened the parcel

Absoluut niet tevreden over het resultaat. Heb aangroei die weliswaar vermindert na enkele uren zeilen....Na het tweede seizoen ga ik het verwijderen ook al omdat je iedere keer een nieuwe laag moeten zetten wanneer je op de kant gaat voor meer dan 2 maanden. Verwijderen is niet eenvoudig en het afval is schadelijk voor het milieu (PFOS)!!!
