Yikes! Paint Blisters
Hi all -
My Elegant Punt has been in the water a week (fresh water), and the bottom
is covered in blisters. There are some areas inside that have them, too.
They are from 1/8 to 1/2 inch, and are rounded and "squishy."
The bottom is covered in fiberglas, with 3 coats of System 3 epoxy, then 2
coats of Latex primer and two coats of Sherwin Williams High Gloss Latex
House Paint. The sides have the same, without the glas cloth.
So -- what did I do wrong? Was it my prep over the epoxy or in between
coats? Should I pull the boat, sand and paint again? Can it wait until
winter?
