Oxidation can occur, which resu

5、age over time盡管陽(yáng)光是膠衣最大的敵人，但來(lái)自海水的腐蝕和人為的磨損也不能忽視。磨損的產(chǎn)生可能是陸地的沙土進(jìn)入船上造成，或者人為的碰撞劃痕以及停泊時(shí)的磨擦。膠衣的磨損或刮傷會(huì)讓水滲入到玻璃纖維，隨著時(shí)間的推移造成嚴(yán)重?fù)p害。The best plan of action is to clean and protect your new boat from the start using a simple gel coat maintenance plan. Because the gel coat maintains the integrity of the fibre glass

Both are useful in the protecting phase of the program.要清除船表面的污垢和臟物，許多船都是使用從雜貨店買(mǎi)來(lái)的清潔劑。其實(shí)應(yīng)該使用專(zhuān)業(yè)的清潔劑，包括保護(hù)膠衣的蠟水。過(guò)程分為兩個(gè)步驟：清潔和上蠟。這兩個(gè)程序都是用來(lái)保護(hù)膠衣的。Part 2第二部分After thoroughly cleaning th

11、e gel coat with boat wash the next step in protecting your boats gel coat is waxing. At this stage, experts vary on the type of wax, but most generally agree that applying wax is essential to maintaining the integrity and shine of your boat's gel coat.在洗船液徹底的清洗船表面后，下一步應(yīng)該是給膠衣打蠟，起保護(hù)作用。打蠟的原因雖然有很多不同

12、的說(shuō)法，但是大多數(shù)人都同意是為了保護(hù)膠衣的完整性和保持光澤。Most fibreglass boat waxes are beeswax based, carnauba wax, silicone or a combination of these. All are designed to protect the gel coat from ultraviolet rays and the harsh marine environment. We recommend you use 3M Ultra Performance Paste wax (see photo).大多數(shù)玻璃纖維的船蠟是用蜂

13、蠟為原料與巴西棕櫚蠟、硅酮混合。所有這些設(shè)計(jì)都是為了使膠衣能抵御紫外線(xiàn)和惡劣的海洋環(huán)境。我們推薦你使用3M Ultra Performance Paste wax（看圖片）。You should apply two coats of wax ensuring that when applying you leave the wax to set, you will have to leave for 30 40 mins between coats. This will provide a good protective barrier coat. Depending on the clima

14、te you should try to apply every month after wash down.你應(yīng)該打兩層蠟（粗蠟和細(xì)蠟），兩次之間的間隔應(yīng)該在30-40分鐘，這樣能更好的保護(hù)膠衣。根據(jù)不同的氣候，你應(yīng)該每個(gè)月至少重新打蠟一次。Other ways to protect your boat's gel coat is to use fenders with washable covers to ward off accidental dings and scrapes.

22、olishing swirls - you then need to go over the area again using the softer 3M Superbuff yellow mopwith a fine cut compound such as 3m Finesse-It.一旦你已經(jīng)打磨了拋光區(qū)域后你可以看見(jiàn)上面的紋路，這時(shí)你需要更細(xì)的3M Superbuff黃色圓餅和蠟水，如3m Finesse-It重新拋光剛才的區(qū)域。The final process is to apply two coats of wax ensuring that when applying you

23、leave the wax to set, you will have to leave for 30 40 mins betweencoats. This will provide a good protective barrier coat.最后的工序是打兩次蠟，粗蠟打完間隔30-40分鐘再打細(xì)蠟。這將給膠衣提供最好的保護(hù)。Depending on the climate you should try to apply every month after wash down.根據(jù)不同的氣候，你應(yīng)該每個(gè)月至少重新打蠟一次。Signs of Heavy Oxidation重氧化跡象The en
