Yes, that is common practise. Keep in mind that epoxy paints work well if
not exposed to sunlight. Very poor UV protection. Steve "rhys" wrote in message ... On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 21:50:56 +0100, "Steve Lusardi" wrote: Condensation on the inside is a whole different matter. There the best protection is urethane foam above the water line and tar below. Wish more people did that. I've seen steel hulls with everything below the cabin sole foamed in, and it seems to essentially trap moisture and makes a nice damp sponge...with predictable results. Can you coal tar the entire interior hull and then foam waterline to hull joint? In other words, will ureathane foam stick to tarred steel? And is there any benefit to this? R. |
