Default How to treat a moist hull?

Dear friends,

I have a question:
my boat has a high level of moisture in the hull but I don't see blisters.
Somebody saya that in this situation is better dont do any treatment, any
epoxy barrier coat, because it can be even more dangereuse.
Others say to apply a thick epoxy barrier to decrease the volume of water
coming in the grp.
I'm a bit confused. What is your opinion and suggestion?


How did you determine "high" level of moisture? As others have
suggested, this is a relative and sometimes subjective value - all
glass has moisture to a certain extent.

Why is this a problem for you. What is the nature of the repair,
painting or problem that led you to do a moisture check? Did you use
a good quality meter? Did you read the measurement correctly?

I don't mean to offend, but it takes a real glass expert to tell
exactly the nature of the problem. Perhaps you might want to talk to
a glass repair person first before making a determination of too much
moisture.
