IMPORTANT: BEFORE APPLYING TO GRP, TEST HULL MOISTURE LEVELS FOLLOWING THE METER MANUFACTURERS

GUIDELINES. FURTHER GUIDANCE ON MOISTURE LEVELS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM AN INDEPENDENT SURVEYOR

OSMOSISTREATMENT Remove existing paint from the gelcoat. Cut open and sand out all blisters and damaged areas. Leave the hull to dry out (normally 6-8 weeks in the autumn). If possible create a high temperature/low moisture condition for drying out. Once dry, fill in all craters with Watertite and sand smooth (substitute fillers, particularly polyester, are not suitable). Apply 7 coats of VC Tar2. Should you be in any doubt, consult a qualified marine surveyor.
