Good product used on seatec epoxy primer
Good product used on epoxy primed seatec, dry quickly. Used for inland water south-west France, to see if the product is sufficiently effective for the season.

1st use instead of the V17 we will see the effectiveness over time

We have been using this thin film antifouling for years on an Etap 30i, with success. Absolutely VC 17M compatible, no detachment from the surface. The effect lasts about 3 months inland, after which biology slowly begins to grow. If feasible, you can then easily clean the underwater ship with scrubber in the late season or after the lips with Kärcher, apparently the growth is not so tight when using the GTI30. The sanding in the spring does not apply, but please protect aluminum surfaces (eg Saildrive) as copper and aluminum make electrolysis. Overall, recommended product.

I sail a sailing yacht all year round in the Atlantic Rias in the north of Spain. I applied GTI 30 on my yatch but did not find it very effective during the summer, however it was not too bad either. Last year I applied the cooper color while this year I will try anthracite.

The build quality and performance aren't quite the same as the VC17m, but all in all it's okay; I'll continue using it for now.

Just as good as ..
The Schlei and Baltic Sea are the locations. Zero growth. The processing characteristics alone are better with the original. You know, the one with the Nobel Prize.

sailing ship
This is our first time ordering the underwater coating, so we can't yet comment on its effectiveness. The product was easy to apply, but it didn't work as well as previous products. Our boat is 9.40 x 3.20 m.

Too thick
The antifouling is quite thick. The application has improved compared to the past. The antifouling works well in the Greifswalder Bodden.

Not easy to apply
For the first layer on vc17, it's ok hung well. On the other hand, on the parts where you could see the vctar, some grip problems. For the second layer it's not easy because the color of the product does not change while drying, so you have to take your bearings to know where you are. Too bad it's only available in anthracite.
Too early to know the effectiveness of the antifouling, on the slippery side it seems ok.

GTI 30 vs VC17
Easier to roll than VC17 because less liquid. Same hiding power Slips no significant difference Protection no better than VC17

by Klaus K. Flag of Germany 9/2/2016 Variant: 66631
Weak protection against fouling
GTI 30 on VC17m extra painted, workmanship, adhesion and fertility very good, protection against fouling deficient, as long as the ship is sailed every week ok, after 5! 2-3 weeks without movement 2-3cm of growth with mussels, smallpox and mucus Will change back to VC17m Extra or Jotun product

the right product in the can?
For years, I use the GTI 30 for a sailing yacht in the interior, so far best. In February, I bought again to supplement the remainder of 2018 750ml GTI 30 graphite. Same inscription, same design and order number as before. When I opened the new rifle today, it's amazing a CuO-contained bag (International !!) in the lid and the ground substance in the rifle is already graphite-colored. So no more with "final color after letting", now I have a spotted underwater ship, red to BB by old GTI 30, it will certainly bring me funny comments slipping. Problematic, this product specification was not announced nor are the solvents used compatible with the old GTI 30! What's happening??? I still have a 30ml rest ...
Our answer
Durch das Inkrafttreten der REACH-Verordnung (EU-Chemikalienverordnung) haben alle Hersteller von Farben - hier insbesondere die Antifoulings - ihre Rezepturen anpassen müssen.
Nach dem Zuwasserlassen wird sich der Farbton angleichen.

The second pull dissolved the first layer
Not happy because it was not possible to paint the second layer without it dissolving the layer before, despite the right temperature and time between layers
Had to sand and redo four times and still it didn't turn out well
Want new paint delivered ??
