Hull Work


The main job today was to apply Interlux Interprotect 2000E with Microplates.  It is a two-part epoxy coating developed to protect fiberglass hulls from water absorption, which can lead to osmotic blistering. The microplates create an overlapping barrier to help stop water migration through the coating.  We applied it where there were minor blistering or where we had been a bit too agressive with the sanding (that is when we went from 80 grit to like.... 36! he! he! that's what you call desperation).  But overall the hulls are in very good condition.
