[Public-List] Rudder blade paintings and coatings

[George Dinwiddie]

Hi, James,

What style of rudder do you have? There's a variety of styles pictured 
on http://alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/RudderVarieties/ and there 
could be other variants.

I would imagine that whoever added the fiberglass did so trying to 
repair some perceived problem. I would try to figure out what that was 
before making a decision on what to do.

However, there is a thick coating of coarse FG cloth and resin on the blade that is cracked and peeling.  The rudder seems to be undamaged.  I’m in the process of scraping and sanding the old coating/finish, but I need advice as to how the rudder should be refinished.  Should I put up a layer of FB cloth and epoxy, coat with barrier paint, and then anti fouling?  Is the FB and resin necessary?
