Hi all,
Now approaching what I thought might be the end of a six month rebuild of a
small wooden 'double ender' 18ft, I have painted from the bare wood with
'normal' enamel paints, ie aluminium primer, undercoats and gloss layers. I
began to apply the anitfouling paint as almost the last paint to be applied
and as soon as it hit the bottom, the gloss paint wrinkled up in a horrible
paint reaction.

I have spoken to the manufuacturers 'helpline' who says I should have
applied primer followed by the AF paint with any gloss ontop of that, i.e.,
strip it off and start again.

Before I break down and sob / commit self & boat to a Viking funeral, are
there any other options, First thoughts are, Is there a compatible oil based
Anti fouling paint out there or..
Can I apply a barrier coat, I notice that its only the gloss layer thats
lifted, so maybe the undercoat or primer can resist the content of the AF
paint.

Any idea's??? apart from taing plenty of petrol for the VF of course! I
can't be the only dummy to have done this.. can I?
