Wetlander Slick Bottom for BoatsWetlander, along with the other Wearlon® branded coatings, are manufactured by the Plastic Maritime Corp., which has been supplying slick, hydrophobic waterborne epoxies to a wide variety of industries for over 30 years. The unique and patented Wearlon technology bonds epoxy molecules to silicone molecules in a block copolymer. This block copolymer structure is inherently stable and tough, but presents a slick and non-stick surface to whatever it is applied to. Wearlon silicone epoxies are being used by automobile and aerospace manufacturers, in the Pulp and Paper industry, and in numerous manufacturing applications do to it’s efficacy, ease of application, and safe water-based formula.
Wearlon®Wetlander is a slick, durable bottom paint for your aluminum, fiberglass or wood hulled boat. An application of Wetlander slick bottom coating will allow your boat to slip through vegetation, slide over rocks and brush, and allow you faster movement through both dry land-based terrain and water environments.
Wearlon®Wetlander is a water-based two part epoxy that is easily applied with a roller or by spraying. It’s water-based chemistry means it is safe and easy to use – even by a non-professional. The water-based chemistry also allows us to ship Wetlander anywhere in the world with no hazardous material charges, saving you money.

Put on my mud 5 years ago and never had an issue. Starting another boat build and it will be on my boat.
Do your coating are ok for Formula boats? Thank you!
Would you mind if I add your site to my web directory about boats? I will keep all the credits.
I believe that Speedcoat-49 would be a much better choice for Formula boats, since they are not grinding through shallow water.

How will the bottom coat hold up in saltwater?
Tim,
It will hold up just fine. Make sure you use a 2-Layer kit, and don’t expect it to repel or barnacles, because it will not.

What about applying to the bottom of a jet ski? I have a fishing jet ski and land it often and use a drive on dock. Would this help protect the bottom?
Jason,
Lots of people put it on their jet skis. Be careful the first time you drive up that dock after putting the Wetlander on the bottom though… it’s gonna slide up a LOT faster. I mean it; be careful.
