New Zealand distributors International Yacht Services in Whangarei have exceeded all expectations with the growth of their A Glaze business far better than anticipated.

New Zealand Applicator has encouraging start
Our latest Applicator,International Yacht Services in New Zealand, who joined our team in September has had a great start using our A Glaze system. New Zealand Yachts suffer the worst UV around the world and as you can see from the pictures blue hulls especially suffer with colour loss. This Swan 44 is 8 years old and when first approached our applicator felt that it was too far gone but was willing to try. They first of all used a 3M compound followed by our Pre-cut and Marine Preparation before using the A Glaze. The treatment had several more coats than normal due to the porous gel coat but they managed to get this filled up.
The pictures speak for themselves and maintenance will be just as important to maintain that gloss.Our agent Tom Mueller of International Yacht Services has 4 more boats lined up waiting for treatment with the next one being hauled out on 12th October. With his stock on the water he should be able to start fully in a couple of weeks time.
Tom also has gained interest from the Prestige Motors club in Auckland who are keen to look at our system for cars. Tom's cars are presently being sign written with our A Glaze logos and an extension to their yard with a new 800 sqm shed to take boats in to work on is now ready. We wish Tom and Lilly all the success with the new venture with us and if anyone in the area would like to contact them please call +64 9 4388800 or e mail iysrigging@yahoo.com. Looking forward to visiting the operation next year when we tour Australia, Hong Kong and New Zealand.

Australia trip a great success
Just returning from a long trip to Australia,thanks to Australian Commercial Marine, we visited Perth,Adelaide,Brisbane,Melbourne,Gold Coast and ending up in Sydney to catch up at the Boat Show. My thanks goes to Peter Boyd (MD) and Dave Wilson who accompanied me on this tour which proved very exciting and in Peters words fantastic !!. We took on around 21 new applicators around Australia which is a great start. Most are in Perth where ACM are based but with at least 2 applicators in each area visited. We also met with some boat manufacturers who are looking at doing trials shortly on all production craft. We were able to see several boats that had been A Glazed in August last year which have held very well in the Australian climate. A Fairline Squadron was a typical example which had bad gelcoat fading which the A Glaze has held now for 11 months. Hanseatic Marine also invited us to look at the new boat in production soon to be launched as well as ask our France company to look at the sister ship in the Middle East. We were also excited to see the large interest in Aircraft there as there are many small airlines and private craft that need treating. We shall be placing a list of all the new applicators on the web in due course with contact details. In the meantime please call Dave Wilson on 61 894316000.

New A Glaze 5.4c for Carbon Fibre
Creative Resins Distribution are pleased to announce the forthcoming A Glaze specially blended for Carbon Fibre. Carbon Fibre,particularly in an unlacquered state,is extremely susceptible to UV damage from the sun. This can show up in the form of yellowing of the area at first,but then chalking and flaking of the clear coat will commence which eventually leads to damage of the individual fibres themselves,thus weakening the structure. This is a problem whenever Carbon Fibre is exposed to sunlight. A Glaze 5.4c has been designed specifically to protect both lacquered and unlacquered carbon fibre from the damage caused by UV. This new formula contains more than 10 times the amount of light stabilizing compounds compared to our existing formulas. Reapplied annually it can almost completely stop the accelerated aging caused to Carbon Fibre by the sun. Samples will be sent out for the normal write ups in due course and will be available soon. For more information please contact Michael Bollom on 44 1795 592640 or e mail michael@marineaglaze.com
