Refurbishments & Specialised Treatments

OSMOSIS

A dictionary definition of Osmosis is “the passage of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane into a more concentrated solution”. When GRP yachts were first produced people thought they were practically impermeable to all forms of rot; this theory has subsequently been proved wrong with the occurrence of osmotic style degradation.

The first visual signs of Osmosis is the formation of blisters in the gel coat
