treating hull blisters

[Joan Korenko]

I know it's old news, But after sandblasting the hull, strips of blisters were visible, After filling these in I was told to use the Interlux 2000 system next. Since I have a cradle, I'm having trouble finding jack stands to use. My question is has any one applied the system around the cradle pads and then applied ablative paint(using primer) to the four areas left by the pads and then have the Interlux system fail on the rest of the hull? I'm only allowed to use the marina sling for one day so won't be able to use the Interlux on those 4 areas.

don't try it

It is very important to have a complete barrier coat. The water can migrate to places that are covered from places that aren't. By the way, you will need to apply 1000 before the 2000.

Had same issue.

I also used 2000E. Since the marina does not work on weekends I had them hang it as the last boat on Friday. This gave me plenty of time to finish the pad areas with five coats. I only had time for one "heavy" coat of anti-fouling as I remember. As you point out the other option is to borrow some stands.
