Blister on Bottom

[Richard Bain]

I have some blisters on the bottom of my 86 hull. The survey says they are just in the VC tar, since it is water based.
I would like to strip it down, and re-do....
Any suggestions? Should you scrape or sand blast...Then do you put a barrier coat on the gel....or just anti fowling (VC 17)

Any help would be great...Thanks!

Richard: Check this out. http://c34ia.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1163&highlight= I did it last year. A lot of work but well worth it. I suggest you deal with the blisters and then put a barrier coat on. Inter-protect 2000. Then VC-17. There is a lot of help on this site dealing with the blisters. First step should be to open them up this fall which will give it the winter to drain.

Good Luck!
