[Alberg30] barrier bottom protection

[Wally Moran]

Well John, I make it four in favour, seven against, with Chris's 
votes counting one for, one against and one 'I don't know". Ain't 
democracy wonderful?
Still, every writer who has done a barrier coat has experienced problems...

>I am in the process of preparing my bottom for going into the water, 
>and I am wondering if it is worth my time and money to sand all the 
>way down to original gelcoat and do a barrier coat of some 
>epoxy-based paint in order to ensure that the bottom will be well 
>protected. The boat has been out of the water for 2 years, so I know 
>that the whole hull is totally dry. There is a part of me that says 
>this is a great opportunity which I won't have again in the near 
>future (since I plan to keep the boat in the water at least 9 months 
>per year), and that I should take advantage of it. However, there is 
>another part of me that says 'if she doesn't have blisters after 36 
>years, she's probably not going to get them in another 20 years'. 
>Does anybody have any advice, experience, or opinions on this 
>subject?
