How Does Waterline Stain Remover effect Gelcoat

We love the Aurora Waterline stain remover, and have used it several times on our fibreglass boat bottom…. it works miracles.

How many times can you use it, before being concerned about gel coat damage or re-application?

Aurora Waterline Stain Remover is inhibited so it will not damage your gelcoat. You can use it as often as you need to. If you need to use it more than once a year, I suggest that you protect the bottom with VS721.

It will seal the pores of the gelcoat and if the staining is caused by chemical pollutants in the water, it will accept the stain, not the gelcoat therefore protecting the boat. It will also seal the pores against water penetration and osmosis blisters. It’s pretty cheap insurance.

Thanks for your question,
