Um, Bruce, I am NOT ill-advised. The ONLY way to get the saturation out
of
the laminate........

Skippy's idea of spraying the bottom with fresh water is just plain
ludicrous and ignorant. You've got to view the hull that sits in the
water
as a membrane. Anybody knows a membrane won't work as a membrane if it is
impermeable.

Youre close my esteamed friend. the point skip so demurely suggested
is the fluid that weeps to the surface as the hull "drys" must be
washed off with soap n water. Unless that fluid is removed the
"drying" process stops. Or so says a few people.


Skippy is an idiot when it comes to anything that logical thinking must
address.

He hasn't a clue what osmosis means respecting a membrane. The fluid that
pushes out the blisters increases in volume because of osmosis. Part of that
fluid consists of water. That fluid is hydrophilic. If the water is removed
the fluid becomes a sticky solid. Only when water is allowed to get to it
does it become thin and 'watery' even though the color is usually quite
dark.

Evaporate all the water from this dark fluid and it becomes like tar. Then
put on a barrier coat on BOTH sides of the membrane - hull and the tar-like
residue will not be able to increase in volume and become thinner and it's
ability via osmosis to raise blisters is thwarted.

Spray ground out blisters all you want with water and it doesn't do one
thing to evaporate the water from the other osmotic fluid in the layup in
unblistered areas. How some people can be so myopic and unimaginative is
beyond understanding.
