Thinners

Why use boat thinner?

Boat thinners are essential when applying paints, varnishes and coatings to boats. They enable you to dilute a solution to make it easier to use, more homogeneous and more uniform. It's important to follow your boat paint thinner's instructions when painting, to find out the percentage of dilution required for each of your solutions.

We also recommend that you wear protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and a mask when using these products. We also recommend that you apply the thinner in a well-ventilated area, and avoid getting it on your skin or in your eyes.
