Sunday. Hull blister repair.

A project that was hanging over my head and worrying me a little bit was the hull blister repair.























Step 1. Sand/Grind all blister caps off.
2. Wipe with clean cloth to remove dust.
3. Prime with coat of West 105 epoxy for a base
4. While the epoxy is still tacky apply more 105 with 407 low density filler. To get a sag-free consistency it takes quite a bit of the 407. The plastic applicators work great and conform to the hull. Apply liberally.
5 Let dry for at least 24 hrs before sanding
6 Apply another barrier coat of epoxy.
