You're scaring the hell out of me. I just sanded my hull and keel down so I could barrier coat it. There were places where the fiberglass weave was showing and just had ablative painted over it. I figured I should take it down so I could seal it up. I hope I made the right decision.

If you don’t have gel coat, barrier coat. I’m talking about a bottom in good condition with good gel coat, not what you’ve got.

Thank you for this video. I'm wondering if the fluid that comes out of the blisters when scratched open is smelling acid. We just bought a Beneteau First 26 1985 and it seems to have the same kind of issue, where there is fluid between the gelcoat and other layers, but not affecting the fiberglass. The fluid has an acid smell to it though. Thanks for your answer.

These blisters do have an odor. They smell a bit like resin and they sometimes produce a sticky fluid. As I said in the video, however, there is no indication that the gelcoat has been compromised nor that there is any blistering in the laminate.

@@79cd36 It seems to me that in previous years by applying different coats to the hull airbubbles have been closed in between the gelcoat and these layers. These airbubbles then filled with water. Now after 4 weeks of drying the hull, a lot of blisters disappeared. I'm planning to let the hull dry out this winter season and after that I'll apply a layer of antifouling primer and antifouling.
