So, here is another idea for blisters: Useless idea #3729 AHAH! CAUGHT you re-using a number! This should be 3730 or so ;-) Since blisters are caused by poor wetting of the skincoat, why not make tiny holes in a large blister and inject very thin epoxy into the blisters (after forcing as much water out as you can) and then apply pressure to cause it to re-conform to the hull as much as possible forcing epoxy out the many holes. There are also materials (think superglue) that polymerise in the presence of water, maybe inject them. Might be an idea, but I just found out that improperly wetted out glass in our new anchor well did NOT wet out when I put additional on top. I suspect what little resin was there prevented new resin being absorbed. In my case, it's of no significance since we put a couple of more layers of properly wetted out glass cloth over for strength and it's not going to be a normally-wet area, so blisters will not be a factor. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
