Hi to all,
When I purchased my 1976- E27 five years ago I did not have any blisters at haul out or I did not notice them ( it was about 24 degrees and freezing rain). She is totally a freshwater boat.The previous owner had just carbide scrapped the bottom down to the VC Tar,added 2 additional coats of tar and followed with 2 coats of VC17. I now have many B-B to pea size blisters.When I break them I get a little fluid . The depth seems to be just to the tar but in some cases to the gel coat. Also my boot stripe looks like it has been shot with a 12 GA. Not blisters but little chips
Should I break the blisters this fall and treat them in the spring ? ? I do not want to get into a full blown bottom job at this time.Can I somehow just treat each blister on an individual basis ? ?
