Osmosis repair kit

With this osmosis repair kit, you can tackle a small osmosis repair. The package is complete and contains all the products you need to treat small osmosis spots.

What is osmosis?

Osmosis is relatively easy to recognize by blisters in the underwater hull. Osmosis is a physical reaction that occurs when water and a (water-soluble) substance come into contact with your boat's gelcoat or paint system. The water will slowly penetrate through the gelcoat and other layers. This water will eventually linger in the cavity, after which a chemical reaction (hydrolysis) will occur. The cavity will then enlarge and a small bubble will form in the hull—this is osmosis!

Osmosis is almost inevitable, but it's easy to fix yourself!
