Hello every one.
Boat is in the yard for a winter (not for long I hope). I am somewhat hesitant to take it out of the water due to the cost factor and inability to sail while its there ( last year I went out on X-mas and New Years day). With a baby to be born in about a month, I doubt I will be taking the boat out of the water for the next two seasons. Right now I am scraping all the paint of the bottom, there is nothing on there but ablative paint. Plan is to fix all the imperfections if I find any and… well, I thought of putting on a barrier coat. That is a lot of extra headache and work so I need some advice.
Do F-21 really need it ? Are we prone for blisters ? My boat set in the water for 2 seasons straight with 3 coats of ablative and seems fine. We have no core in the haul thus blisters will not be doing much damage even if they happen ? Need some expertise here…
Brgds.

Hey Guys, I just e-mailed a friend about barrier coating.On page 330-331 of the West Marine catalog is the West System barrier coat he used.# 105 resin and 205 hardener. He said you might want to try the 206 hardener (it is a little slower) with 422 additive.He applied it with a sponge brush and spread it with a cloth squeegee. You should take off all old paint and it should be 55 degrees at least to harden. READ THE DIRECTIONS.His barrier coat is 8 years old.Note that he is in fresh water only Good luck Biffbill weber <billpeggyweber@…> wrote: I’ve been a member here for four year and never heard anyone doing it.
