??? the stuff is a conductor. Boron is sometimes used as dope for

Yes I know that.

Painting a metal surface with conductive paint doesn't seem like such a
good idea to me.

...You said the paint had some : "Now we paint on a
two-part barrier coat with powdered titanium and boron platelets in it."
which raised my interest.

But it was Interlux 2000E -we have that here. I note that you do need ~
4-6 coats coats to get the claimed barrier properties though. That's a
lot of paint.

Check the formulation, it may be different. The stuff we used claimed to
be very effective with one layer (they specified a thickness in mils but
I forget what it was) and totally impervious with 3x. Actually, WEST
System epoxy is pretty good barrier all by itself.

Ella has probably reached the point where if blisters were to appear
they would have appeared. So far all is well...

Well, that's good. Some boats just don't get blisters.
