Sea-Line Thinner for 1K Primer, Varnish & Enamel – 1L

The Sea-Line 1K Yacht Thinner is a blend of high-quality solvents formulated specifically for adjusting the viscosity of one-component primers, paints, and varnishes. Using the correct manufacturer-recommended thinner not only ensures the paint or varnish has the proper application characteristics, but also guarantees the expected final result. Sea-Line Thinner for 1K provides excellent paint flow, extended working time, and controlled evaporation, allowing the coating to lay down smoothly and dry evenly. This helps prevent defects such as orange peel, brush marks, or bubbles in the finish. With this thinner, the paint maintains the right thixotropy – meaning the applied film won’t run or sag even on vertical surfaces, which is crucial for a professional-quality outcome.

In addition to improving technical parameters during application, Sea-Line 1K Thinner ensures chemical compatibility with the Sea-Line product range. Using an improper or generic thinner can alter the paint’s chemical structure, slow down drying, or compromise the strength and adhesion of the coating. Therefore, it’s recommended to always use the original Sea-Line thinner for best results. It’s important to note that this thinner is not to be used for antifouling paints or other specialized coatings, which have their own dedicated thinners.

Recommended Uses & Applications:

• Application: Ideal for thinning Sea-Line one-component yacht primers, 1K wood varnishes, and yacht enamel topcoat paints. It is indispensable in preparing the paint for application by brush, roller, or spray to achieve the correct consistency.
• For Hobbyists and Professionals: Simplifies painting tasks for DIY boat owners on small repairs as well as professional painters on full yacht refinishing. It allows the coating to level out smoothly without “orange peel” and ensures excellent intercoat adhesion for subsequent layers.
• Compatibility: Use this thinner with all Sea-Line 1K products to guarantee optimal quality. Do not use it with two-component (2K) systems or antifouling paints – those require specialized thinners designed for that purpose.
• Mixing Guidelines: Add the thinner gradually while stirring until the recommended viscosity is reached (as specified in the product’s technical datasheet). Typically, dilute the product by ~5-15% by volume, depending on the application method and ambient conditions. Adjust as needed to achieve a good flow without over-thinning the product.
