Mipa silicone remover in liquid or spray format removes wax, oil and polish residue before repair filling, sanding checks or coating.
Guided shopping manual
A rigid canoe or kayak exterior needs careful cleaning, sanding, local repair and a durable colour finish. This method is strongest for solid GRP, repaired composite areas and stable old coatings rather than soft flexible polyethylene hulls.
Mipa silicone remover in liquid or spray format removes wax, oil and polish residue before repair filling, sanding checks or coating.
Mipa E 90 with Mipa hardener EPN repairs small chips, scratches and worn areas on suitable rigid substrates before the colour coat.
Mipa PU 250-70 gives a durable satin gloss colour finish for the prepared canoe or kayak exterior when the substrate is suitable for this coating system.
Mipa PU 912-25 hardener and Mipa 2K Thinner Normal V 25 complete the compatible PU topcoat stage when the coating is mixed for application.
Wash off dirt, algae, salt and old polish, then dry the exterior fully before sanding or filling begins.
Create a uniform dull key over the area to be painted, feathering old stable coating and smoothing rough repair edges.
Use Mipa E 90 with EPN hardener on suitable rigid substrates for small chips or damaged spots, then sand the repair smooth after curing.
Remove dust and residue with Mipa silicone remover so the colour coat lands on a clean surface.
Apply Mipa PU 250-70 with the correct hardener and thinner, building even coats and avoiding heavy wet edges on curves.
Choose Mipa E 90 where scratches or small chips need filling, because a topcoat will not hide broken edges or uneven repairs by itself.
Choose Mipa PU 250-70 for a stable, prepared rigid exterior where a satin gloss 2K finish is suitable.
Soft polyethylene and highly flexible hulls need a separate adhesion check before painting, because many coatings do not bond reliably to that material.
Paint the canoe or kayak on stable supports with the hull at a comfortable working height. Keep the first coats controlled on curved edges, then finish larger panels once the edges are covered.
