Protect your hydrofoil from galvanic corrosion!
Commonly affected are the bolts holding foil parts together. When stainless steel, titanium or carbon make contact with aluminium, it causes a reaction that can practically weld them together. Over time, materials can become brittle and break.
Isolating and water-repelling properties of the Shield Gel create a barrier between bolts and the aluminum, inhibiting the corroding process.
The Gel also lubricates, making foil assembly or disassembly quicker and easier.
