... snipped some Ah Willie, I went to the site you mentioned... All the photos were of the topsides of a horrid little yellow boat. I hate to be the one to tell you but a hull doesn't absorb much water above the waterline. I'm amazed that a well rounded sailor like yourself doesn't know that it is the under water portion that gets the blisters. Ah well, as I've often told you, opening your mouth simply proves what most people already assume - that you are the biggest fool on rbc. Cut your ignorance quotient, please, Brucie Boi! Check out the pristine bottom with NO BLISTERS. Smooth as a baby's bottom. December 2010. http://www.badongo.com/pic/11238469 http://www.badongo.com/pic/11238471 http://www.badongo.com/pic/11238475 The GRP bottom required NO nothing!!!! No fairing, no hours of washing to get blister effluent dribbles off, no sealing, no scraping, no long board sanding, no primer, nothing but the application of three gallons of Petit Trinidad Pro. New, multi-colored boot stripe tape, however, just to better accentuate her beauty. The lighter blue paint above the rubbing strake is now a darker blue as seen in the topsides photos you were so envious of: http://captainneal.wordpress.com/ The closer match of colors better integrates the handsome color scheme of the whole boat. The cast iron keel did have a few rusty areas. These needed to be scraped, sanded, primed and covered with an epoxy coating prior to laying on the five or six coats of bottom paint. Eat your heart out! Wilbur Hubbard |
