The
Wonderful World of Hull Blistering
Photos by David H.
Pascoe, Marine Surveyor
 |
Photo of hull with gelcoat removed, revealing
that the mat is very poorly wetted. |
 |
Photo of same area prior to removing gelcoat.
Pimple blisters are all beneath gelcoat and not
under the mat, none of which grew to any significant
size. |
 |
In this ground away blister, the ply separation
is clearly evident around the perimeter as shown
by arrow. When it is repaired, the void or incomplete
bonding will remain. |
 |
The skinout mat on this hull never was
fully bonded. This is the result after six inch
blisters were peeled away. This large section was
peeled off with a screwdriver. Note that the mat
is less than 50% saturated. |
